4D Printing of Polymer Composites to Engineer Resorbable and Deployable Implants
Medical implants include products that are used to replace or restore the function of any damaged organ or tissue inside the body. The current generation of implants are mostly made from non-degradable materials and are ... -
Bioengineering strategies to model and modulate immune cells
Optimal activation of immune cells is necessary to elicit a protective response against pathogens and foreign objects. In dysregulated immune systems, cells are aberrantly activated or exhausted. Understanding biochemical ... -
Engineering three-dimensional hydrogel culture systems to delineate host-pathogen interaction in tuberculosis
Full text embargo up to 25/5/2026 Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), an obligate human pathogen, spreads through aerosols to the lung alveoli, where alveolar macrophages engulf it. These macrophages then migrate to the ... -
Immune cell surveillance and death on silicone catheter surfaces drives bacterial biofilm formation
Silicone venous catheters are among the most used medical devices in the world with a prevalence of up to 80% in hospitalised patients. While they are used for several life-saving applications, they are also prone to ...
