In vitro bioactivity and degradation behaviour of β-wollastonite derived from natural waste.

Materials science & engineering. C, Materials for biological applications
Calcium silicate ceramics, in particular wollastonite (CaSiO), is the most commonly used bioactive material for bone regeneration and repairing applications. The present study aims to synthesize cost effective wollastonite using natural waste materia...

Photoluminescence-tunable fluorescent carbon dots-deposited silver nanoparticle for detection and killing of bacteria.

Materials science & engineering. C, Materials for biological applications
Innovative methods to detect and kill pathogenic bacteria have a pivotal role in the eradication of infectious diseases and the prevention of the growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The combination of fluorescent carbon dots (FCDs) with silver n...

An In Vitro Study to Evaluate and Compare the Hemocompatibility of Titanium and Zirconia Implant Materials after Sandblasted and Acid-etched Surface Treatment.

The journal of contemporary dental practice
AIM: This study was aimed to investigate the hemocompatibility of zirconia and titanium implant materials after surface treatment with sandblasting and acid etching (SLA).

Graphene oxide-doping improves the biocompatibility and separation performance of polyethersulfone hollow fiber membranes for bioartificial kidney application.

Journal of colloid and interface science
HYPOTHESIS: Graphene oxide (GO)-doping in polyethersulfone hollow fiber membranes (PES HFMs) improves the biocompatibility and separation performance for bioartificial kidney (BAK) application.

Manipulation of Biomolecule-Modified Liquid-Metal Blobs.

Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English)
Soft and deformable liquid metals (LMs) are building components in various systems related to uncertain and dynamic task environments. Herein we describe the development of a biomolecule-triggered external-manipulation method involving LM conjugates ...

Optimizing Double-Network Hydrogel for Biomedical Soft Robots.

Soft robotics
Double-network hydrogel with standardized chemical parameters demonstrates a reasonable and viable alternative to silicone in soft robotic fabrication due to its biocompatibility, comparable mechanical properties, and customizability through the alte...

Thin polymeric films for building biohybrid microrobots.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This paper aims to describe the disruptive potential that polymeric thin films have in the field of biohybrid devices and to review the recent efforts in this area. Thin (thickness  <  1 mm) and ultra-thin (thickness  <  1 µm) matrices possess a seri...

Controlled surface morphology and hydrophilicity of polycaprolactone toward human retinal pigment epithelium cells.

Materials science & engineering. C, Materials for biological applications
Applying scaffolds as a bed to enhance cell proliferation and even differentiation is one of the treatment of retina diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) which deteriorating photoreceptors and finally happening blindness. In this s...

A novel 4-DOF surgical instrument with modular joints and 6-Axis Force sensing capability.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: It is difficult for surgeons to exert appropriate forces during delicate operations due to lack of force feedback in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RMIS). A 4-DOF surgical grasper with a modular wrist and 6-axis force sensing ...

Design of a Coupled Thermoresponsive Hydrogel and Robotic System for Postinfarct Biomaterial Injection Therapy.

The Annals of thoracic surgery
BACKGROUND: In preclinical testing, ventricular wall injection of hydrogels has been shown to be effective in modulating ventricular remodeling and preserving cardiac function. For some approaches, early-stage clinical trials are under way. The hydro...
