What if we had tiny devices in our bodies that could constantly monitor damaged arteries, accelerate bone regeneration and wound healing, or facilitate drug delivery for cancer treatment? This could open up remarkable opportunities ...
In a step forward in the development of genetic medicines, researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania have developed a proof-of-concept ...
Piezoelectricity has been well recognized as the key factor in bone regeneration. However, the current additive-manufactured scaffolds mainly focus on the reconstruction of bionic topological structure and mechanical microenvironment, ...
Chitin hydrogel is recognized as a promising material for a variety of biomedical applications. Its biocompatibility and biodegradability make it useful in tissue repair, artificial organs, and wound healing. Yet scientists ...
Due to the unclear distribution characteristics and causes of fluoride in groundwater of Mihe-Weihe River Basin (China), there is a higher risk for the future development and utilization of groundwater. Based on the systematic ...
Prof. Amit Bandyopadhyay's group from Washington State University presents a knowledge-based discussion of the challenges and possible future directions for the fabrication and application of porous metallic implants.
Received wisdom says that staying out in the sun too long can make your skin tougher over time. Think about the "leathery" complexions of farmers, road crews and others who work long hours outdoors, or someone who spends ...
One of the more unusual ways objects can increase longevity is by sacrificing a part of themselves—from dummy burial chambers used to deceive tomb raiders, to a fuse melting in an electrical circuit to safeguard appliances, ...
Engineers from Rice University and the University of Maryland have created full-motion video technology that could potentially be used to make cameras that peer through fog, smoke, driving rain, murky water, skin, bone and ...
Engineering organs to replace damaged hearts or kidneys in the human body may seem like something out of a sci-fi movie, but the building blocks for this technology are already in place. In the burgeoning field of tissue ...
