Performance Estimation and Ex Vivo Validation of Untethered Magnetic Robots in Soft Tissue

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents an empirical model that quantitatively predicts the step‐out frequency of screw‐type untethered magnetic robots (UMRs) in soft viscoelastic environments, including ex vivo brain tissue. By integrating key parameters into a dimensionless framework, the model enables estimation of robot performance across a range of biological ...

A Technique for Patellar Tendon Repair Using a Suture‐Free Nonwoven Polyethylene Terephthalate Implant

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Surgical repair remains the standard of care for complete patellar tendon ruptures. However, healing is often challenging due to the tendon's poor biological environment and high tensile stress at the repair site. Bioinductive implants have been introduced to enhance tendon healing; however, they often lack early structural reinforcement. This

Optimized micro‐sized cell sphere‐matrix niche co‐aggregates promote efficient oral and craniomaxillofacial bone regeneration

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The construct of cell‐niche co‐aggregates (GelMA‐SHED sphere‐DDMPs) promotes cranial and periodontal bone regeneration and ensures angiogenic‐osteogenic coupling by downregulating miR‐34c‐5p to enhance the expression of NOTCH1 and its intracellular domain (NICD).
