Direct Ink Writing of Conductive Hydrogels
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This review examines the use of direct ink writing (DIW) for fabricating conductive hydrogels with customizable 3D structures. It outlines the rheological requirements for successful DIW, followed by an exploration of the materials and ink formulations used to impart electronic and/or ionic conductivity to hydrogels while maintaining printability ...

Novel Advancements in Three-Dimensional Neural Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine [PDF]
Neural Regen. Res. 2015;10(3):352-4, 2015 Neurological diseases and injuries present some of the greatest challenges in modern medicine, often causing irreversible and lifelong burdens in the people whom they afflict. These diagnoses have devastating consequences on millions of people each year, and yet there are currently no therapies or interventions that can repair the structure of neural ...

A Comparison of the Mechanical Properties of ECM Components and Synthetic Self‐Assembling Peptides
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Self‐assembling peptide hydrogels are increasingly utilized in biomedical applications. The authors review the key mechanical properties of these structures across multiple size scales and compare them to that of native extracellular matrix components, which are found to display a much wider range of structural attributes.

A Generalized Correlation Index for Quantifying Signal Morphological Similarity [PDF]
, 2016 In biomedical applications, the similarity between a signal measured from an injured subject and a reference signal measured from a normal subject can be used to quantify the injury severity. This paper proposes a generalization of the adaptive signed correlation index (ASCI) to account for specific signal features of interest and extend the ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Exosomes can reduce tissue damage in temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA), but rapid clearance limits their efficacy. This study encapsulates exosomes in hyaluronic acid hydrogels for controlled release. In a rat model, hydrogel‐encapsulated exosomes outperform free exosomes in preserving bone integrity and reducing tissue destruction ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Segmented PCL‐bisurea (BU) polymers and BU‐peptide conjugate additives assemble into fibrous superstructures at the nanoscale through a mix‐and‐matching strategy. Different bioactivities are incorporated through variation of peptide sequences. The resulting materials are screened for their effect on stem cell adhesion and pluripotency.

Extensive spontaneous plasticity of corticospinal projections after primate spinal cord injury. [PDF]
, 2010 Although axonal regeneration after CNS injury is limited, partial injury is frequently accompanied by extensive functional recovery. To investigate mechanisms underlying spontaneous recovery after incomplete spinal cord injury, we administered C7 spinal ...
