3D Bioprinting of Thick Adipose Tissues with Integrated Vascular Hierarchies

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 12, March 18, 2025.
An advanced 3D bioprinting technique is used here to create thick adipose tissues with a central, vessel and extensive branching. The construct is made using alginate, gelatin and collagen‐based bioinks. Flow through the complex vessel network is demonstrated as well as its successful integration with a femoral artery following implantation in a rat ...

Facial expression recognition through muscle synergies and estimation of facial keypoint displacements through a skin-musculoskeletal model using facial sEMG signals

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
The development of facial expression recognition (FER) and facial expression generation (FEG) systems is essential to enhance human-robot interactions (HRI). The facial action coding system is widely used in FER and FEG tasks, as it offers a framework to

A Rare Cause of Hemifacial Spasm: Papillary Oncocytic Cystadenoma

Balkan Medical Journal, 2016
Background: Hemifacial spasm is a sudden, involuntary and synchronous spasm of the facial muscles. The most frequent cause of this condition is compression of the facial nerves due to vascular pathologies.

Ultrasoft Iontronics: Stretchable Diodes Enabled by Ionically Conductive Bottlebrush Elastomers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces a solvent‐free, ultrasoft, and stretchable ionic diode based on oppositely charged bottlebrush elastomers (BBEs). The BBE diode exhibits an ultralow Young's modulus (<23 kPa), a high rectification ratio of 46, and stretchability over 400%.

Dynamic Reconstruction Using Bilateral Lengthening Temporalis Myoplasty for Facial Palsies in Patients with Hereditary Skin Laxity

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open
Summary:. Hereditary skin laxity is a rare condition, some cases of which are also referred to as cutis laxa, and those involving facial skin are considered a target for treatment by plastic surgery as patients present with an aged face, which can reduce

Micropatterned Biphasic Printed Electrodes for High‐Fidelity on‐Skin Bioelectronics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Micropatterned biphasic printed electrodes achieve unprecedented skin conformity and low impedance by combining liquid‐metal droplets with microstructured 3D lattices. This scalable approach enables high‐fidelity detection of ECG, EMG, and EEG signals, including alpha rhythms from the forehead, with long‐term comfort and stability.
