Toward Wireless Implantable Robotic Systems Driven by Magnetic Field for Personalized Therapy

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robotic materials are playing an increasingly vital role in enabling sensing and actuation at small scales. This perspective highlights recent advances in magnetic materials and magnetically actuated devices for wireless sensing, actuation, and energy harvesting toward implantable robotic systems for closed‐loop therapy.

Non-linear optical microscopy and histological analysis of collagen, elastin and lysyl oxidase expression in breast capsular contracture

European Journal of Medical Research, 2018
Background Capsular contracture is one of the most common complications in surgical interventions for aesthetic breast augmentation or post-mastectomy breast reconstruction involving the use of silicone prostheses.

Assessment of human adipose‐derived stem cell on surface‐modified silicone implant to reduce capsular contracture formation

Bioengineering & Translational Medicine, 2022
Medical devices made from poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)‐based silicone implants have been broadly used owing to their inert properties, biocompatibility, and low toxicity.

Dual‐Functional Ingestible Passive Capsules for High‐Throughput Intestinal Sampling with Sealed Containment and Targeted Drug Delivery

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
To address challenges in high‐throughput intestinal sampling with sealed containment and target drug delivery, we developed a dual‐functional ingestible passive capsule with a dual‐triggered control system based on pH‐response and mechanical actuation.

Late Capsular Hematoma after Prosthesis Removal Following Aesthetic Breast Augmentation: A Case Report [PDF]

Archives of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2017
Late capsular hematoma formation after augmentation mammoplasty with an implant is a very rare complication. Some mechanisms explaining late capsular hematoma formation have been reported; it is thought to be associated with capsular contracture ...

Models for Implant-Induced Capsular Contracture Post Breast Cancer Surgery

Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2023
AbstractCapsular contracture is a painful deformation of scar-tissue that may form around an implant in post-breast cancer reconstruction or cosmetic surgery. Inflammation due to surgical trauma or contamination in the tissue around the implant could account for recruitment of immune cells, and transdifferentiation of resident fibroblasts into cells ...

Tumbling Magnetic Microrobots for Targeted In Vivo Drug Delivery in the GI Tract

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
We introduce a microrobot design and integrated system for on‐demand targeted drug release in the gastrointestinal tract. The microrobot has an embedded magnet for actuation with external magnetic fields and is visualized in real time using ultrasound. It has two drug release ports sealed with a thermally sensitive wax. Local heating of the wax using a
