Bioxolography Using Diphenyliodonium Chloride and N‐Vinylpyrrolidone Enables Rapid High‐Resolution Volumetric 3D Printing of Spatially Encoded Living Matter

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bioxolography, a novel volumetric 3D‐bioprinting technique, enables rapid and high‐resolution fabrication of >1 cm3 engineered living materials. A newly developed three‐component photoinitiator system significantly enhances the photoreactivity of gelatin methacryloyl‐based bioresins, allowing for precise xolographic bioprinting.

Microfluidic Production of Ultrathin, Handleable Collagen Sheets Exhibiting Toe‐heel Tensile Behavior

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This study presents a microfluidic wet spinning technique for producing ultrathin, templated collagen sheets with hierarchical organization at the microscale. The aligned collagen sheets replicate strain‐stiffening behavior associated with native cardiovascular tissues, sup cell attachment and contraction, and enable biofabrication of load‐bearing ...

Relationship of Arterial Stiffness Index and Pulse Pressure With Cardiovascular Disease and Mortality

Journal of the American Heart Association : Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
Background Vascular aging results in stiffer arteries and may have a role in the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Arterial stiffness index (ASI), measured by finger photoplethysmography, and pulse pressure (PP) are 2 independent vascular ...
