Evaluation of corneal cell growth on tissue engineering materials as artificial cornea scaffolds
International Journal of Ophthalmology, 2013 The keratoprosthesis (KPro; artificial cornea) is a special refractive device to replace human cornea by using heterogeneous forming materials for the implantation into the damaged eyes in order to obtain a certain vision. The main problems of artificial

Normal stresses in semiflexible polymer hydrogels [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 97, 032418 (2018), 2017 Biopolymer gels such as fibrin and collagen networks are known to develop tensile axial stress when subject to torsion. This negative normal stress is opposite to the classical Poynting effect observed for most elastic solids including synthetic polymer gels, where torsion provokes a positive normal stress. As recently shown, this anomalous behavior in

Fibrin Gel Ultrastructure [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2010 Ischemic heart disease, which results from occlusion of one of the major coronary arteries as a consequence of thrombi and atherosclerotic plaque, continues to be the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Western society, while stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In this work, melt electrowriting is used to fabricate a 3D printed scaffold design that generates engineered cardiac tissues with in‐plane contraction, mimicking natural myocardium. It is shown that these tissues display advanced maturation and functionality.

Thermoresponsive stiffening with microgel particles in a semiflexible fibrin network [PDF]
, 2019 We report temperature-responsive soft composites of semiflexible biopolymer networks (fibrin) containing dispersed microgel colloidal particles of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAM) that undergo a thermodynamically driven de-swelling transition above a Lower Critical Solution Temperature (LCST). Unlike standard polymer-particle composites, decreasing
