Additive Manufacturing of Patient‐Specific Intracranial Aneurysm Cell Culture Models

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Patient‐specific intracranial aneurysm models were fabricated using chocolate moulding, 3D printed water‐soluble cores, and direct resin 3D printing. Moulding PDMS around sacrificial cores made of chocolate or 3D printed water‐soluble resin yielded accurate, expandable, and endothelializable models that outperformed resin‐based approaches.

PNPLA3 in Alcohol‐Related Liver Disease

Liver International
ABSTRACTThe discovery of PNPLA3 as a genetic risk factor for liver disease has transformed our understanding of the pathogenesis of alcohol‐related liver disease (ALD). The recent reclassification of fatty liver disease as steatotic liver disease (SLD), introducing metabolic dysfunction and alcohol‐related liver disease (MetALD), has highlighted how ...
