Mechanical and Electrical Phenotype of hiPSC‐Cardiomyocytes on Fibronectin‐Based Hydrogels

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
We introduce fibronectin‐based PEG hydrogels with controlled rigidity to enable the culture of iPSC‐derived cardiomyocytes. These substrates offer an alternative to the current culture of these cells on fibronectin‐coated glass, providing enhanced structural and functional behavior. The system provides a more physiologically relevant platform to assess

A FEM-Matlab code for fluid-structure interaction coupling with application to sail aerodynamics of yachts

, 2009
A Matlab-FEM code has been developed for deformation analysis of sails as a MSc final project. Sails are modelled as isotropic homogeneous membranes reinforced with cables.

Effect of matrix cracks and delamination on extension-twist coupling of thin pretwisted composite strips

, 2017
An asymptotically exact cross-sectional model coupled with geometrically nonlinear one-dimensional (1D) theory is developed for a thin composite strip in the presence of defects.

A Novel Decellularized Fibrocartilage Graft Promotes Tympanic Membrane Repair

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
An off‐the‐shelf decellularized porcine meniscus fibrocartilage graft (MEND) is engineered for pediatric tympanoplasty. Featuring a microchannel architecture that promotes host cell invasion, MEND rapidly closes tympanic membrane perforations and fully remodels in vivo, outperforming fascia and matching cartilage grafts while avoiding donor‐site ...

Quaternion-based impedance with nondiagonal stiffness for robot manipulators

, 1998
In this paper an energy-based argument is used to derive the dynamic equation of a mechanical impedance at the end effector of a robot manipulator, both for its translational part and for its rotational part.

Targeting Post‐Irradiation Thyroid Dysfunction: Electrospun Scaffolds As A Dual‐Action Approach for Antioxidant and Immune Modulation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Radiation‐induced hypothyroidism follows head and neck radiotherapy due to oxidative stress and inflammation. Electrospun polycaprolactone scaffolds containing adenosine have potential to modulate thyroid repair. Scaffolds enhance thyrocyte proliferation, antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase and catalase, reduce senescence and apoptosis markers ...

Underwater Vibro-Acoustic Coupling Characteristics of a Simply Supported Plate Coupled with a Quasi-Zero Stiffness Vibration Isolation

水下无人系统学报
Structural vibration noise from the power compartment critically impairs the acoustic stealth performance of undersea vehicles. Utilizing vibration isolation technology to attenuate or isolate vibration transmission is an effective approach to reduce ...

Aqueous Two‐Phase Bioinks for Discrete Packing and Compartmentalization of 3D Bioprinted Cells

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Aqueous two‐phase systems (ATPS) enable the formation of biomimetic interfaces crucial for tissue engineering. However, clinical translation remains limited by the challenge of precisely controlling cellular compartmentalization. Here, we developed ATPS biomaterial inks for 3D bioprinting allowing tuneable droplet formation via NaCl modulation.

Dynamic Effect of Young’s Modulus on Attachment and Differentiation of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells

, 2015
Embryonic stem cells have generated much interest due to their ability to differentiate into any cell type within the body. This ability could potentially allow for scientists and engineers to develop a number of therapies for diseases, which currently ...

Properties of amylopectin/montmorillonite composite films containing a coupling agent

, 2007
The addition of clay to polymers has the combined effects of enhancing both the strength / stiffness and the barrier properties. This investigation presents a novel approach to further enhance the strength / stiffness of cast plasticized amylopectin (AP)/
