3D (Bio) Printing Combined Fiber Fabrication Methods for Tissue Engineering Applications: Possibilities and Limitations

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Biofabrication aims at providing innovative technologies and tools for the fabrication of tissue‐like constructs for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. By integrating multiple biofabrication technologies, such as 3D (bio) printing with fiber fabrication methods, it would be more realistic to reconstruct native tissue's ...

Diagnostic accuracy of probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy and tissue sampling by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in indeterminate biliary strictures: a meta‑analysis

Scientific Reports, 2022
Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE), also known as optical biopsy, is a new endoscopic technique that provides real-time magnification of 1000 × microscopic tissue information to diagnose indeterminate biliary strictures.

Adaptive 4D‐Printed Vascular Stents With Low‐Temperature‐Activated and Intelligent Deployment

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Microarchitected coronary artery stents were fabricated using a polycaprolactone (PCL)‐based shape memory polymer (SMP) composite via projection micro‐stereolithography (PµSL) 4D printing. By incorporating diethyl phthalate (DEP) as a plasticizer, the thermal transition temperature (Ttran) was modulated to about 37°C, enabling rapid and autonomous ...

Geometrical Designs in Volumetric Bioprinting to Study Cellular Behaviors in Engineered Constructs

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Curvature and spatial confinement guide cell behavior in volumetrically printed 3D constructs. Endothelial cells align and spread along specific geometries, while metastatic osteosarcoma cells proliferate independently of structural cues. Label‐free holographic microscopy captures real‐time, long‐term cell–material interactions, highlighting Gel‐PEG's ...
