A soft robotic total artificial hybrid heart.

Nature communications
End-stage heart failure is a deadly disease. Current total artificial hearts (TAHs) carry high mortality and morbidity and offer low quality of life. To overcome current biocompatibility issues, we propose the concept of a soft robotic, hybrid (pumpi...

Measuring alignment of structural proteins in engineered tissue constructs using polarized Raman spectroscopy.

PloS one
Measures of structural protein alignment within biological and engineered tissues are needed for improved understanding of their mechanical behavior and functionality. We advance our method of measuring protein alignment using polarized Raman spectro...

Optimal structural characteristics of osteoinductivity in bioceramics derived from a novel high-throughput screening plus machine learning approach.

Biomaterials
Osteoinduction is an important feature of the next generation of bone repair materials. But the key structural factors and parameters of osteoinductive scaffolds are not yet clarified. This study leverages the efficiency of high-throughput screening ...

Surrogate modeling of electrospun PVA/PLA nanofibers using artificial neural network for biomedical applications.

Scientific reports
Blending poly (lactic acid) (PLA) with poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) improves the strength and hydrophilicity of nanofibers, making them suitable for biomedical applications like wound dressings. This study explores how electrospinning parameters-applie...

Ultrasound-activated piezoelectric biomaterials for cartilage regeneration.

Ultrasonics sonochemistry
Due to the low density of chondrocytes and limited ability to repair damaged extracellular matrix (ECM) in cartilage, many patients with congenital or acquired craniofacial trauma require filler graft materials to support facial structure, restore fu...

Soft Biological Actuators for Meter-Scale Homeostatic Biohybrid Robots.

Chemical reviews
Skeletal muscle's elegant protein-based architecture powers motion throughout the animal kingdom, with its constituent actomyosin complexes driving intra- and extra-cellular motion. Classical motors and recently developed soft actuators cannot match ...

Innovative construction and application of bile duct organoids: Unraveling the complexity of bile duct diseases and potential therapeutic strategies.

Cancer letters
The biliary system is crucial for liver function, regulating bile production, secretion, and transport. Dysfunctions within this system can lead to various diseases, such as cholangiopathies and biliary fibrosis, which may progress from benign to mal...

Predicting inflammatory response of biomimetic nanofibre scaffolds for tissue regeneration using machine learning and graph theory.

Journal of materials chemistry. B
Tissue regeneration after a wound occurs through three main overlapping and interrelated stages namely inflammatory, proliferative, and remodelling phases, respectively. The inflammatory phase is key for successful tissue reconstruction and triggers ...

Advancing regenerative medicine: the Aceman system's pioneering automation and machine learning in mesenchymal stem cell biofabrication.

Biofabrication
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are pivotal in advancing regenerative medicine; however, the large-scale production of MSCs for clinical applications faces significant challenges related to efficiency, cost, and quality assurance. We introduce the Auto...

Bioinspired design of a tissue-engineered ray with machine learning.

Science robotics
In biomimetic design, researchers recreate existing biological structures to form functional devices. For biohybrid robotic swimmers assembled with tissue engineering, this is problematic because most devices operate at different length scales than t...
