Aspects of Multimodal Hybrid Biomaterials

Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2019
Immobilizing a single growth factor such as rhBMP-2 on Implant materials can significantly increase the integration of implants into bone in animals. Paradoxically the effective osteoinductive dose of rhBMP-2 in humans is ca. 100-1000-fold higher than in

Intelligent Micro/Nanorobots for Targeted Interventional Therapy: From Bench to Clinic

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Zirui Zhang et al. reviewed the application and challenges of mobile nanomachines in interventional therapy. By converting exogenous energy, including chemical, magnetic, optical, and ultrasonic sources, into mechanical forces, micro/nanorobots (MNRs) enable precise actuation at unprecedented scales. Evolving far beyond traditional drug delivery, these

Thermochemical Micro‐Explosion for Prompt Thrombolysis via Proximal Injection of Liquid Alkali Metal

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We report a micro‐explosive thermochemical thrombolysis (METCT) therapy via injectable liquid alkali metal encapsulated in dimethyl silicone (LAM@oil). METCT enables prompt and safe vascular recanalization within 90 s. Critically, the LAM@oil system demonstrates significantly higher thrombolytic efficacy compared to clinically available thrombolytic ...

Organoid Brain‐Machine‐Interface Devices for Central Nervous System Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We envision organoid brain‐machine‐interface (Organoid‐BMI) devices as new biohybrid bidirectional communication pathways to connect the human CNS and the external world for personalized CNS repair and regeneration. ABSTRACT Central nervous system (CNS) repair and regeneration suffer from tremendous clinical challenges due to current limitations in ...

Biohybrid motor neuron spheroid composed of graphene/HUVEC/neural cell for 3D biosensing system to evaluate drug of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Nano Convergence
A 3D motor neuron (MN) spheroid has been developed to investigate neurodegenerative and neuromuscular junction (NMJ) disease. However, core necrosis and reduced neurogenesis, impairing neural network formation, were observed as the MN spheroid matured ...

Red Blood Cells as Endogenous Biotweezers for Optical Micromanipulation In Vivo

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By synergistically integrating the long‐distance manipulation fiber probe (LDMFP) and endogenous red blood cells (RBCs) as biocompatible optical elements, a natural RBC biotweezer was developed for the desired microparticle manipulation and immune cell activation within living vasculature, which might offer an alternative tool for intravital optical ...
