A Versatile Microfluidic Extrusion‐Based Hydrogel Platform for Self‐Organization and Long‐Term Maintenance of Engineered 3D Lymphatic Endothelium

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Microfluidic coaxial extrusion generates size‐controlled 3D lymphatic tubes from primary human dermal lymphatic endothelial cells in a defined four‐component matrix. These engineered vessels self‐organize into stable lymphatic endothelium, maintain selective macromolecular permeability for 30 days, and enable direct comparison with blood endothelial ...

Properties of Fuzzy Inner Product Spaces

International Journal of Fuzzy Logic Systems, 2014
In this paper, natural inner product structure for the space of fuzzyn−tuples is introduced. Also we have introduced the ortho vector, stochastic fuzzy vectors, ortho - stochastic fuzzy vectors, ortho-stochastic fuzzy matrices and the concept of orthogonal complement of fuzzy vector subspace of a fuzzy vector space.

Approximating a similarity matrix by a latent class model: A reappraisal of additive fuzzy clustering

, 2009
Let Q be a given n×n square symmetric matrix of nonnegative elements between 0 and 1, similarities. Fuzzy clustering results in fuzzy assignment of individuals to K clusters.

Mechanically Programmable DNA Hydrogel Microparticles for 3D Cellular Systems

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
DNA hydrogel microparticles are designed to exhibit controllable viscoelasticity and stiffness across three orders of magnitude from 30Pa$30 \,\mathrm{Pa}$ to 6.5kPa$6.5 \,\mathrm{kPa}$. They are uptaken into fibroblast spheroids where they are actively remodeled by cellular forces depending on their mechanical properties.

Soft Hardware, Flowing Software: Reconfigurable Microfluidics for Adaptable Chemical Computation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A reconfigurable microfluidic platform based on soft, photo‐printable, and chemically erasable hydrogel structures printed and erased in situ is used to control flow routing, mixing, chemical patterning, and even chemical computing. Using hardware to control chemical computations decouples logic function from molecular composition, demonstrated via ...

A Proof‐of‐Concept Assessment of a Novel Wearable Eyelid Muscle Device: A Pre‐Clinical Animal Cadaver Study for Eyelid Closure Restoration

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article introduces a soft wearable eyelid sling device incorporating a hydraulic soft artificial muscle (SAM) for achieving complete closure of an eyelid. The SAM is driven by a cam mechanism that provides a displacement profile closely matched with those of a healthy eyelid.

Cross product kernels for fuzzy set similarity

, 2017
We present a new kernel on fuzzy sets: the cross product kernel on fuzzy sets which can be used to estimate similarity measures between fuzzy sets with a geometrical interpretation in terms of inner products. We show that this kernel is a particular case
