Material Selection and Geometric Design for Few‐filament Shape Memory Polymer Yarns for Force Generation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A custom shape memory polymer material selection process relates quantitative application criteria (e.g., compression garment yarns) to material characterization information. The selected materials are manufactured into yarn geometries, which expand the design space by creating structural stress‐strain profiles beyond the nominal material stress‐strain

Additive‐Manufactured, Multifunctional Bioreactor Technology for Dynamic Culture of 3D Bioprinted Tissue Models

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
We introduce an additively manufactured bioreactor with a perfusion flow system and integrated temperature and pH sensors for skeletal muscle tissue biofabrication. The bioreactor's performance was evaluated by assessing the viability, spreading of the myoblast cells in a printed scaffold, and contraction of the isolated murine musculi interossei ...

Loop extrusion drives very different dynamics for Rouse chains in bulk solutions and at interfaces

open access: yes, 2019
The loop extrusion theory predicts that the loops of chromosomes are produced by cohesin molecules that uni-directionally extrude a chromatin fiber. We here use an extension of the Rouse model to predict the chain conformational dynamics driven by the ...

Soft Robotic Snake with Tunable Undulatory Gait for Efficient Underwater Locomotion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study designs an underwater soft snake robot using 3D‐printed soft actuators, controlled by specific signals to generate sinusoidal undulation. Results show a positive correlation between speed and swing amplitude, with optimal performance at 2/3π phase offset, PLA tail, 1.2 voltage growth rate, and 6s undulation period achieving a maximum speed ...

Condensin complexes: from chromatin organization to disease

open access: yesNucleus
Condensin complexes are indispensable for mitotic chromosome condensation. In this review, we summarize their structural and functional features, focusing on ATP-dependent loop extrusion and mitotic chromatin folding. We discuss current models of mitotic
