3D (Bio) Printing Combined Fiber Fabrication Methods for Tissue Engineering Applications: Possibilities and Limitations

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Biofabrication aims at providing innovative technologies and tools for the fabrication of tissue‐like constructs for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. By integrating multiple biofabrication technologies, such as 3D (bio) printing with fiber fabrication methods, it would be more realistic to reconstruct native tissue's ...

Substrate Stress Relaxation Regulates Cell‐Mediated Assembly of Extracellular Matrix

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Silicone‐based viscoelastic substrates with tunable stress relaxation reveal how matrix mechanics regulates cellular mechanosensing and cell‐mediated matrix remodelling in the stiff regime. High stress relaxation promotes assembly of fibronectin fibril‐like structures, increased nuclear localization of YAP and formation of β1 integrin‐enriched ...

Cross-Linking and Corneal Imaging Advances [PDF]

BioMed Research International, 2015
Corneal cross-linking, a technique employing UV-A illumination and a photomediator to induce corneal rigidity, is a widely recognized procedure for the stabilization or even possibly reversal of corneal ectasia progression in patients with keratoconus and post-LASIK ectasia.

Complications of corneal collagen cross-linking

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2022
Corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) is an effective treatment for arresting progression in patients with keratoconus. CXL was approved by United States Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of progressive keratoconus in 2016. It is a relatively safe procedure with a low complication rate. As this approach becomes more popular, it is paramount
