Less invasive fixation techniques, such as intramedullary nailing (IMN) and minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO), are now the preferred choices for treating tibia shaft fractures (TSFs). However, malreduction and radiation exp...
The three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting technologies are suitable for biomedical applications owing to their ability to manufacture complex and high-precision tissue constructs. However, the slow printing speed of current layer-by-layer (bio)printing ...
Recreating complex structures and functions of natural organisms in a synthetic form is a long-standing goal for humanity. The aim is to create actuated systems with high spatial resolutions and complex material arrangements that range from elastic t...
BACKGROUND: Pediatric surgery patients often present with complex congenital anomalies or other conditions requiring deep understanding of their intricate anatomy. Commercial applications and services exist for the conversion of cross-sectional imagi...
The ability to precisely control a scaffold's microstructure and geometry with light-based three-dimensional (3D) printing has been widely demonstrated. However, the modulation of scaffold's mechanical properties through prescribed printing parameter...
