Suturing is a time consuming task in ophthalmology and suture induced irritation and redness are frequent problems. Postoperative wound infection and corneal graft rejection are examples of possible suture related complications. To prevent these complications, ophthalmic surgeons are switching to sutureless surgery. A number of recent developments have

An ultrathin surface‐attached hydrogel coating is introduced that, unlike the best antifouling coatings so far, consists of hydrophilic, non‐charged, green solvent‐based monomers. It effectively renders the surfaces of medical devices stealth toward proteins, a clinical strain of MRSA and blood while offering on‐demand degradability to regenerate the ...

CARS and SHG microscopy to follow the collagen production in living human corneal fibroblasts and mesenchymal stem cells in fibrin gel 3D cultures [PDF]
Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy is combined with second harmonic generation (SHG) technique in order to follow the early stage of stem cell differentiation within a 3D scaffold. CARS microscopy can detect lipid membranes and droplet compartments in living cells and SHG microscopy enables a strong imaging contrast for molecules ...

Microfluidic Spinning of PEDOT:PSS Microfibers for Nerve Guidance Conduits
This publication explores the fabrication of microfluidically spun PEDOT:PSS microfibers for conductive nerve guidance conduits (NGCs). It details the spinning process, fiber characterization, and biocompatibility assessment. The study highlights the fibers' mechanical and electrical properties, non‐cytotoxicity, and potential for nerve regeneration or

Vertical Membrane‐Free Organ‐on‐a‐Chip for High‐Throughput In Vitro Studies and Drug Screening
This novel microfluidic organ‐on‐a‐chip (OoC) platform enables cost‐effective, high‐throughput in vitro modeling. With vertical compartmentalization and gravity‐driven flow, it eliminates porous membranes and external pumps. Successfully generating intestine, cartilage, and tendon models, this study demonstrates drug responses, including 5‐fluorouracil

Multi-scale strain-stiffening of semiflexible bundle networks [PDF]
Bundles of polymer filaments are responsible for the rich and unique mechanical behaviors of many biomaterials, including cells and extracellular matrices. In fibrin biopolymers, whose nonlinear elastic properties are crucial for normal blood clotting, protofibrils self-assemble and bundle to form networks of semiflexible fibers.

Targeting fibrin in neurodegeneration [PDF]
Deposition of fibrin in the brain and central nervous system occurs after injury or disease. This process unmasks a conserved cryptic epitope of fibrin that activates microglia; blocking this interaction can limit inflammation and neurotoxicity.

Fibrin – a promising material for vascular tissue engineering
This review looks at the use of fibrin in vascular tissue engineering (VTE). Autologous fibrin is one of the most affordable biopolymers because it can be obtained from peripheral blood by simple techniques.
