The Revolving Door: A Report on U.S. Hospital Readmissions [PDF]

, 2013
The U.S. health care system suffers from a chronic malady -- the revolving door syndrome at its hospitals. It is so bad that the federal government says one in five elderly patients is back in the hospital within 30 days of leaving.Some return trips are ...

Multi‐scale Engineered Vasculature and Hierarchical Porosity via Volumetric Bioprinting‐Guided Photopolymerization‐Induced Phase Separation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Vascularization in bioprinted hydrogels is limited by nanoscale porosity in hydrogel bionks. Volumetric bioprinting of gelatin–norbornene phase‐separating hydrogels permits to create centimeter‐scale constructs featuring interconnected multi‐scale porosity. Light dose gradients result in spatially controlled pore dimensions. Capillary‐scale vessels are
