Tendon-Derived Stem Cell Sheet Promotes Early-Stage Tendon-Bone Healing. [PDF]
J Musculoskelet Neuronal InteractTo investigate the role of a tendon-derived stem cell (TDSC) sheet in tendon-bone healing within an extra-articular bone tunnel rat model.Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The superficial flexor tendon, with or without a TDSC sheet, was transplanted into a 1.0-mm diameter bone tunnel in the proximal tibia ...

Reversible Tuning of Multiple Molecular Kinking for Stem Cell Regulation In Vivo
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In this work, we introduce the novel concept of background component‐free “multiple kinks” material platform composed solely of liganded multiple kink‐bearing molecules as a strategy for dynamic biomaterial design. Tri‐kink molecules enable effective near‐infrared light‐triggered ligand masking and visible light‐triggered ligand exposure, thereby ...

Bioengineered Interfaces for Peripheral Nerve Sensory Restoration
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Half of amputees abandon their prosthetics for lack of feeling. This review charts the full path from peripheral nerve injury to restored sensation, through surgical, regenerative, noninvasive, and implanted approaches, and shows how injury type and interface material properties determine which strategy can deliver naturalistic feedback, and why ...

Trend of Bioactive Molecules and Biomaterial Coating in Promoting Tendon—Bone Healing
Coatings, 2022 The tendon-bone junction (TBJ) is a graded structure consisting of tendons, nonmineralised, and mineralised fibrocartilage and bone. Given the complex gradient of the TBJ structure, TBJ healing is particularly challenging. Injuries to the TBJ such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears and rotator cuff injuries are common and serious sports injuries,

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Melt electrofibrillation (MEF) enables the fabrication of nanofibrillar PCL scaffolds with defined architectures that guide cellular alignment and retention during cartilage tissue engineering. Unlike conventional melt electrowriting, MEF consistently directs collagen type II‐rich extracellular matrix organization, providing a tunable platform to ...

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.High‐aspect‐ratio low‐melting‐point alloy inclusions are embedded within multilayer silicone laminates to create thermally programmable stiffness. Sequential activation of alloy‐rich layers produces four distinct mechanical states and reconfigures tendon‐driven actuator trajectories under the same load.

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Automated poultry processing lines still rely on humans to lift slippery, easily bruised carcasses onto a shackle conveyor. Deformability, anatomical variance, and hygiene rules make conventional suction and scripted motions unreliable. We present ChicGrasp, an end‐to‐end hardware‐software co‐designed imitation learning framework, to offer a ...
