All‐Amyloid Functional Coacervates

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces an all‐amyloid interfacial complex coacervate technique that employs charge‐mediated or functionalization‐assisted complexation of oppositely charged food protein‐derived amyloid nanofibrils to engineer functional soft constructs across multiple length scales.

Treatment of the capsular contracture around mammary implants: our experience

open access: yes, 2008
The most common complication in patients who underwent mammary implant surgery is capsular contracture. Actually, there is no standard effective treatment for this complication.

Pharmacological approaches for the prevention of breast implant capsular contracture

open access: yes, 2022
Capsular contracture is a common complication associated with breast implants following reconstructive or aesthetic surgery in which a tight or constricting scar tissue capsule forms around the implant, often distorting the breast shape and resulting in ...

Inductively Expandable Supraparticles as Microscopic Force Generators for Remote Mechanical Actuation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the combination of magnetic nanoparticles and functional blowing agents into supraparticles. Upon induction heating, they actuate via rapid gas generation or extensive volume expansion. These supraparticles lift up to 25 000 times their own mass and rapidly open cured epoxy resins, providing a versatile strategy for fast micron ...

Bacterial biofilm associated with a case of capsular contracture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Capsular contracture is one of the most common complications of implant-based breast augmentation. Despite its prevalence, the etiology of capsular contracture remains controversial although the surface texture of the breast implant, the anatomical ...

Photothermal Heat Spreading for Uniform Pixel Activation in NIR Laser‐Driven Thermochromic Liquid Crystal Displays

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A pixelated full‐color display is driven by a 1064 nm near‐infrared laser without electrical wiring. A graphite photothermal layer converts light into heat, while an aluminum heat‐spreading layer redistributes it for uniform color within each pixel. Optimizing pixel size and spacing suppresses thermal crosstalk, enabling non‐contact reproduction of ...

What can we learn from sonication results of breast implants?

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
BackgroundDifferent research groups have identified microorganisms on breast implants by sonication with significant correlation to the rate of capsular contracture.

Programmable Pneumatic Actuator System for a Bioinspired Artificial Colon

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A modular soft robotic colon simulator driven by programmable pneumatic actuation is developed to mimic physiological and pathological‐like motility patterns of the large intestine. Finite element–guided design and distributed control enable anatomically realistic deformation for peristalsis, segmentation, and mass movements, supporting capsule ...
