New synthetic scaffolds for tendon and ligament repair
Studying packed polymers at oil-water interface could lead to new biomaterials
Researchers used surface spectroscopy methods to track polymer self-assembly at the oil-water interface in real time
In vitro organ model research trends
The authors identify research hotspots and their evolution, different scientific areas being influenced, and global trends for both organoid and organ-on-a-chip models
High-density protein pores create high-performance membranes
Researchers incorporated protein pores found in cell membranes at high density into polymer sheets to produce highly efficient filtration membranes
Layered biomaterials not always so tough
Researchers have discovered that layered biological materials are not so tough when they are curved rather than flat
Light-activated biomimetic hydrogel for infection-beating wound dressings
The work is a good starting point for making wound dressings with “built-in infection stoppers”
Using 3D printing to teach the next generation of spine surgeons
The real innovation was simulating human tissue and creating a new polymer for FDM 3D printing of anatomical models that will be used for practicing pre-surgical operations using electrocautery, something that has never been done before
