Design and Synthesis of Peptide‐Polyester Conjugates for Cell‐Mediated Scaffold Degradation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work describes polycaprolactone (PCL)‐based biomaterials engineered to degrade in response to cell‐secreted proteases. A fast‐degrading peptide (Fast) sequence is integrated into a PCL conjugate backbone to produce a biomaterial that is selectively degraded by multiple cell types compared to its scrambled control (ScrFast).

Design and in-situ biomimetic fabrication of a high-density strain sensor array for parachute canopy fabric

iScience
Summary: In-situ monitoring of non-uniform strains in spacecraft parachute canopies is essential to ensure safe landings. Traditional wearable strain sensors struggle to meet high-resolution measurement requirements due to their low density.

CULTURAL AND SYMBOLIC INTERPRETATION OF SELECTED WAX PRINT DESIGNS ON GHANAIAN FABRICS

EPH - International Journal of Educational Research, 2019
Although Ghanaian textiles have undergone several phases of ascension and declining, they are still significant in the culture of the people. Fabrics in Ghana are not only chosen for their aesthetic outlook but rather have certain cultural and symbolic interpretations which are in line with their names.

Packed for Ossification: High‐Density Bioprinting of hPDC Spheroids in HAMA Toward Endochondral Ossification

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Human periosteum‐derived cell spheroids bioprinted at high density within a hyaluronic acid matrix promote fusion and hypertrophic cartilage formation in vitro. Early encapsulation enhances spheroid interaction and matrix maturation, generating scalable cartilage templates intended for endochondral bone regeneration.

Physicochemical Reinforcement Unlocks Sterilization‐Stable Anisotropic Hydrogels for Cell‐Compatible Mock Arteries

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In vitro arterial models offer ethical and robust alternatives for vascular research but require cytocompatible materials that replicate physiological mechanics. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels produced by directional freezing and salting‐out (PVA DFSO) are anisotropic yet lack stability for cell culture. Herein, methacrylated PVA (PVA‐MA)

Utilising inkjet printed paraffin wax for cell patterning applications

International Journal of Bioprinting
We describe a method to prepare patterned environments for eukaryotic cells by inkjet printing paraffin wax onto a substrate. This technique bypasses the requirement to create a master mould, typically required with the use of polydimethylsiloxane techniques and the printed structure could be immediately used to guide cell proliferation.
