In vivo polydopamine coating of Rhodobacter sphaeroides for enhanced electron transfer

Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Melania Reggente, Fabian Fischer

Recent advances in coupling light-harvesting microorganisms with electronic components have led to a new generation of biohybrid devices based on microbial photocatalysts. These devices are limited by the poorly conductive interface between phototrophs and ...

Radiation Patterns of RF Wireless Devices Implanted in Small Animals: Unexpected Deformations Due to Body Resonance

Anja Skrivervik, Stéphanie Lacour, Mingxiang Gao, Zvonimir Sipus, German Augusto Ramirez Arroyave, Kangling Wu, James Daniel Rosenthal

One challenge in designing RF wireless bioelectronic devices is the impact of the interaction between electromagnetic waves and host body tissues on far-field wireless performance. In this paper, we investigate a peculiar phenomenon of implantable RF wirel ...

Prevention of the foreign body response to implantable medical devices by inflammasome inhibition

Stéphanie Lacour

Fibrotic scarring secondary to the foreign body reaction (FBR) generates a physical barrier obstructing the functional interaction of implantable medical devices with the host tissue. The mechanistic basis of the FBR is poorly understood, restricting the c ...

Influence of Uncertainty of Body Permittivity on Achievable Radiation Efficiency of Implantable Antennas-Stochastic Analysis

Anja Skrivervik, Zvonimir Sipus

Design of medical sensor implants is very challenging due to numerous restrictions in terms of size and biological acceptability. In addition, large absorption and reflection of electromagnetic waves in body tissues significantly degrades the communication ...

Damage-driven strain localisation in networks of fibres: A computational homogenisation approach

Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Felipe Figueredo Rocha

In many applications, such as textiles, fibreglass, paper and several kinds of biological fibrous tissues, the main load-bearing constituents at the micro-scale are arranged as a fibre network. In these materials, rupture is usually driven by micro-mechani ...

Soft Hydrogel Zwitterionic Coatings Minimize Fibroblast and Macrophage Adhesion on Polyimide Substrates

Silvestro Micera, Anna Zahoranova, igor lacik

Minimizing the foreign body reaction to polyimide-based implanted devices plays a pivotal role in several biomedical applications. In this work, we propose materials exhibiting nonbiofouling properties and a Young's modulus reflecting that of soft human ti ...

Programmable microencapsulation for enhanced mesenchymal stem cell persistence and immunomodulation

Berna Ayse Özkale Edelmann, Christina Myra Tringides

Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapies demonstrate particular promise in ameliorating diseases of immune dysregulation but are hampered by short in vivo cell persistence and inconsistencies in phenotype. Here, we demonstrate that biomaterial encapsulation i ...

Surface and bulk stresses drive morphological changes in fibrous microtissues

Mahmut Selman Sakar, Erik Mailand, Nikolaos Bouklas

Engineered fibrous tissues consisting of cells encapsulated within collagen gels are widely used three-dimensional (3D) in vitro models of morphogenesis and wound healing. While cell-mediated matrix remodeling that occurs within these scaffolds has been ex ...
