3D Printed Venous Valves, Biocompatibility and Functionality
3D printing has been gaining popularity as a method of creating heart valves. However, to the best of our knowledge, no one was yet able to 3D print venous valves, particularly using cells or biocompatible [...]
Hydrogel-based scaffolds for tissue engineering
Gels or hydrogels are described as the matrix of cross-linked polymers. Hydrogels are naturally a part of the body in the form of collagen, gelatin, mucous, tear films, cartilage, vitreous humor, cornea, and tendon. The [...]
Bioextraction technologies for bioplastic and biomass hydrolysates production
Globally, there is an increased interest in environmentally friendly bio-based alternatives to currently used chemical processes in agriculture, medicine and industry. Microorganism and its enzymes can provide safe and cost-effective technologies for different applications. One [...]
Functional Multi-layered Bio-scaffold by 3D printed and Electro spun biodegradable materials
In paper, we are presenting a novel technology for the bio-scaffold fabrication. The fabricated scaffold is composed of 3 layers which include a 3D printed PLA in middle and electro spun nanofibers of PCL+Collagen on [...]
Examination of the osteoconductive, antibiofilm & biomechanical properties of a PEEK-ZEOLITE composite biomaterial for intervertebral spine fusion surgery
Introduction: Polyether ether ketone (PEEK), a common spine biomaterial demonstrates intrinsic inertness and hydrophobic properties, thereby resulting in an inherent susceptibility to bacterial infections and reduced fusion capacity within the intervertebral space due to fibrous [...]
Microwave-assisted synthesis of bioabsorbable nanoparticles to be used as reinforcement of PLGA in biomedical applications
Biodegradable polymers have been used in a large number of mass production applications such as packaging, paper coating, fibers, films and other disposable items, as well as in biomedical applications (Kalia & Avérous, 2011). The [...]
Electrospinning of collagen with nanocapsules of PLGA for delivery of paclitaxel in drug-eluting stents
Agudelo L.M., Cornelio J.A.C., Rodriguez L.F., Ortiz I.C., Hoyos L.M., Colmenares G.J., Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana, CO
Drug-eluting stents can facilitate a drug’s release directly to the specific site, but the main difficulty with drug-eluting stents is that the initial burst of drug release can extremely affect the pharmacological action and this [...]
Hydrogel Films with CNT for biosensing applications
Hydrogels have been probe to be an amazing material, we present and hydrogel that we formulated with a mix of carbopol 940 and PVA, the selection of this material is because they present a high [...]
Titanate TiO2 Nanowire Bio-Scaffold as a Novel Sensor for Cancer Cell Differentiation
Human body cells undergo continuous division to compensate the cell loss in the body. This process is highly regulated and any abnormality can cause Cancer, which is a hot topic nowadays. Indeed, Cancer cell research [...]
Development of Coating Technology for Force-Feedback Application of Minimally Invasive Surgery
Kuo W-C, Wu W., Chien T., Hu H., Chong Y., National Kaohsiung First University of Science and Technology, TW
This research is to develop the coating technology in order to meet the disinfection and sterilization requirement for the tools package of minimally invasive surgery. In this study, the parylene coating is applied to protect [...]
Computation-assisted nanopore detection of uranyl ions
Because of uranium mining, nuclear power production, nuclear weapon development, as well as other industrial and medical application, uranium has been one of the most common radioactive contaminants in the environment, which raises concerns about [...]
