Bioinspired Shape Reconfigurable, Printable, and Conductive “E‐Skin” Patch with Robust Antibacterial Properties for Human Health Sensing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In this article, Hojin Kim, Sayan Deb Dutta, and co‐workers report a shape‐reconfigurable, 3D printable, and highly adhesive slime‐like ‘electronic skin’ or ‘E‐skin’ patch for human health sensing and tissue engineering applications. The dual reinforcement of hydrogel patch with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) improve the ...

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...

EEG and EMG Sensorimotor Measurements to Assess Proprioception Following ACL Reconstruction [PDF]

, 2018
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is the primary source of rotational stability in the knee by preventing the tibia from sliding in front of the femur. When the ACL is torn, it typically must be repaired through reconstructive surgery which results in

Using stiffness to assess injury risk:comparison of methods for quantifying stiffness and their reliability in triathletes [PDF]

, 2018
Background: A review of the literature has indicated that lower body stiffness, defined as the extent to which the lower extremity joints resists deformation upon contact with the ground, may be a useful measure for assessing Achilles injury risk in ...

Bioassembly of Region‐Specific Fibrocartilage Microtissues to Engineer Zonally Defined Meniscal Grafts

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Meniscal microtissues are fabricated using progenitor cells isolated from the inner (iMPCs) and outer (oMPCs) regions of the meniscus. Meniscal microtissues fuse into cohesive constructs rich in sGAG and collagen. cABC treatment modulates collagen fiber formation and organization in assembled grafts.

Granular Hydrogels as Modular Biomaterials: From Structural Design to Biological Responses

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Granular hydrogels are now emerging as promising biomaterials due to their inherent microporousity, injectability, and modularity. They have shown improvements in cell viability and migration, cellular/tissue infiltration, host tissue integration, mitigated foreign body response, and tissue regeneration.
