A novel digital nasoalveolar molding approach for cleft lip and palate
Presurgical nasoalveolar molding (PNAM) is a widely accepted approach applied before cheiloplasty for infants with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP), which can effectively reduce the width of the cleft gap, to align and approximate the intraoral
A functionally-graded scaffold and bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells for osteonecrosis of the femoral head
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a debilitating disease that may progress to femoral head collapse and subsequently, degenerative arthritis. Core decompression (CD) is a commonly used joint-preserving procedure for the treatment of small to medium
3D-printed chitosan scaffolds for the improved in-vivo wound healing in diabetic rats
In the tissue engineering context, fabrication of porous three dimensional (3D) printed chitosan (CH) scaffolds for skin tissue regeneration and their behavior in terms of biocompatibility, cytocompatibility and toxicity toward human fibroblast (Nhdf) and keratinocyte (HaCaT), was
3D-printed artificial intelligence running at the speed of light – from object classification to optical component design
Deep learning is one of the fastest-growing machine learning methods that relies on multi-layered artificial neural networks. Traditionally, deep learning systems are implemented to be executed on a computer to digitally learn data representation and abstraction, and
Light-controlled muscle-powered walking biological robots
For centuries, engineers have built with traditional materials, such as woods or metals, which can’t dynamically respond to changes in their environment. Intuitively, we know that biological materials can do things synthetic materials cannot. For example, our
Advanced technology in the cath lab: CT, VR, robots, and 3D printing
Precision medicine or “personalized medicine” is poised to become a cornerstone of future medical diagnostics and therapies. The idea is to use a patient’s own information to create treatments that are tailored to them specifically. This type
Rapid prototyping to explain the biology of seahorse tails
Rapid prototyping employs the use of modern engineering tools, such as computer modeling and 3D-printing, to build physical models of new product design concepts. Applying similar techniques, our team of biologists and engineers built two 3D-printed models
