Dielectrophoretic Microweaving: Biofabrication of Aligned Bacterial Nanocellulose for Regenerative Medicine

Metamaterials: Snapping Mechanical Metamaterials under Tension (Adv. Mater. 39/2015).

By exploiting snap-through instabilities, D. Pasini and co-workers design a damage-tolerant mechanical metamaterial that snaps sequentially under tension, thereby accommodating a very large deformation up to 150%. On page 5931, they describe how the nonlinear mechanical response of the metamaterial can be robustly programmed by tuning the architecture of its unit cell.

Natural Trabecular Bone as a Mineralized Substrate for Osteochondral Tissueengineered Hydrogel Constructs

INTRODUCTION: Since partial defects in articular cartilage do not heal spontaneously, whereas injuries that penetrate the subchondral bone undergo some repair [1], we have begun to consider the development of tissue engineered osteochondral constructs consisting of a hybrid scaffold of chondrocyte-seeded hydrogel and devitalized trabecular bone; such a scaffold may improve cartilage repair and ...

Highly Aligned Skeletal Muscle Fibers

We propose highly aligned skeletal muscle fibers (Fig.1). We found that the textiles of a fibrin hydrogel fiber are highly orientated to the the longitudinal direction of the fiber by using a micro fluidic channel of a micro glass capillary tube. We also confirmed that the seeded skeletal muscle cells, C2C12, migrated into the fiber and aligned to the fiber direction without any complex lithogr...
