Nitric oxide-releasing injectable hydrogels with high antibacterial activity through in situ formation of peroxynitrite.

Acta biomaterialia
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...

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...

Optimized Repopulation of Tendon Hydrogel: Synergistic Effects of Growth Factor Combinations and Adipose-Derived Stem Cells.

Hand (New York, N.Y.)
Tendon-derived extracellular matrix (ECM) hydrogel has been shown to augment tendon healing in vivo. We hypothesized that reseeding of the gel with adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) could further assist repopulation of the gel and that combinations ...

Bending of Responsive Hydrogel Sheets Guided by Field-Assembled Microparticle Endoskeleton Structures.

Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany)
Hydrogel composites that respond to stimuli can form the basis of new classes of biomimetic actuators and soft robotic components. Common latex microspheres can be assembled and patterned by AC electric fields within a soft thermoresponsive hydrogel....

Vocal Fold Augmentation with Beta Glucan Hydrogel Cross-Linked by γ Irradiation for Enhanced Duration of Effect: In Vivo Animal Study.

BioMed research international
This study explored a novel strategy to restore the vocal gap by using cross-linked β-glucan hydrogel by γ-irradiation. An aqueous solution of 5 wt% β-glucan was prepared and cross-linked using (60)Co γ irradiation. Ten nude mice were injected with 0...

Beetle-inspired responsive photonic microgel assemblies for multi-sensing enhanced by machine learning.

Biosensors & bioelectronics
Bioinspired photonic hydrogels hold promise as sensors; however, their use in triple-analyte sensing optical devices has been minimally explored. Temperature, serum Fe levels, and X-ray doses are critical factors for predicting and monitoring medical...

Ultra-Elastic, Transparent, and Conductive Gelatin/Alginate-Based Bioadhesive Hydrogel for Enhanced Human-Machine Interactive Applications.

Biomacromolecules
Growing interest has focused on next-generation flexible adhesive sensors (FAS) integrated with deep learning for intelligent electronics. Existing conductive hydrogels, however, fail to concurrently achieve high stretchability, transparency, robust ...

Preparation of Active On-Demand Antibacterial Hydrogel Epidermis Electrodes Based on Flora Balance Strategy for Intelligent Prostheses.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
Hydrogel epidermis electrodes have demonstrated remarkable potential for stable electrophysiological signal acquisition in the field of intelligent prostheses. However, current hydrogel electrodes face challenges in providing on-demand antibacterial ...

Advancing Acoustic Droplet Vaporization for Tissue Characterization Using Quantitative Ultrasound and Transfer Learning.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Acoustic droplet vaporization (ADV) is an emerging technique with expanding applications in biomedical ultrasound. ADV-generated bubbles can function as microscale probes that provide insights into the mechanical properties of their surrounding micro...

A Digital Score Based on Circulating-Tumor-Cells-Derived mRNA Quantification and Machine Learning for Early Colorectal Cancer Detection.

ACS nano
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) serve as valuable biomarkers in tumor circulation, carrying essential primary tumor information. The purification of CTCs from peripheral blood samples and the analysis of their characteristic molecules enable the detec...
