Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.A modular bioreactor platform was developed in order to replicate bone homeostasis and pathology, thereby integrating mechanical loading, dynamic perfusion, and a 3D‐printed microfluidic chamber. With precise control of environmental parameters and dual perfusion for composite tissue models, the system enhances physiological relevance for studying bone

Journal of the ASEAN Federation of Endocrine Societies, 2014 Objective. Limited information exists on the physical characteristics, bone mineral density (BMD), 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels and other biochemical parameters in patients with hip fractures in Asia. We aimed to explore whether these parameters

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.An ideal implant should mimic native tissues such that it can integrate, sense, heal, and continue to function, i.e., be autonomous. Although early, there are good steps taken in this way, e.g., the development of stimuli‐responsive, self‐powering, self‐actuating, self‐healing, self‐regenerating, and self‐aware implants.
