Elasticity imaging is a technique that discovers the spatial distribution of mechanical properties of tissue using deformation and force measurements under various loading conditions. Given the complexity of this discovery, most existing methods appr...
Microstructural features and mechanical properties are closely related in all soft biological tissues. Both yet exhibit considerable inter-individual differences and are affected by factors such as aging and disease and its progression. Histological ...
Conventional approaches to developing biomaterials and implants require intuitive tailoring of manufacturing protocols and biocompatibility assessment. This leads to longer development cycles, and high costs. To meet existing and unmet clinical needs...
Living cells are highly scalable biological actuators found in nature, and they are efficient technological solutions to actuate robotic systems. Recent advancements in biofabrication and tissue engineering have bridged the gap to interface muscle ce...
The advancement of glass science has played a pivotal role in enhancing the quality and length of human life. However, with an ever-increasing demand for glasses in a variety of healthcare applications - especially with controlled degradation rates -...
Throughout the process of aging, dynamic changes of bone material, micro- and macro-architecture result in a loss of strength and therefore in an increased likelihood of fragility fractures. To date, precise contributions of age-related changes in bo...
UNLABELLED: In this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory, odontogenic and pro-angiogenic effects of integrating simvastatin and nanofibrous poly(l-lactic acid) (NF-PLLA) scaffolds on dental pulp cells (DPCs). Highly porous NF-PLLA scaffolds t...
UNLABELLED: Nitric oxide (NO) is an endogenous molecule with many critical biological functions that depend on its concentration. At high levels, NO provides broad-spectrum antibacterial effects through both its pathogen inhibition and killing abilit...
UNLABELLED: Biological collagenous tissues comprised of networks of collagen fibers are suitable for a broad spectrum of medical applications owing to their attractive mechanical properties. In this study, we developed a noninvasive approach to estim...
