While polymers are widely utilized materials in the biomedical industry, they are rarely used
in an unmodified state. Some kind of a surface treatment is often necessary to achieve …

Silk refers to a family of natural fibers spun by several species of invertebrates such as
spiders and silkworms. In particular, silkworm silk, the silk spun by Bombyx mori larvae, has …

Biomaterials able to promote neuronal development and neurite outgrowth are highly
desired in neural tissue engineering for the repair of damaged or disrupted neural tissue …

We demonstrate an electrolyte-gated hybrid nanoparticle/organic synapstor (synapse-
transistor, termed EGOS) that exhibits short-term plasticity as biological synapses. The …

Multi‐electrode arrays with 3D micropillars allow the recording of electrophysiological
signals in vitro with higher precision and signal‐to‐noise ratio than planar arrays. This is the …

Polymeric fibrous constructs possess high surface area-to-volume ratios when compared
with solid substrates and are quite commonly used as tissue engineering and cell growth …

Keratin (Ker) protein regenerated from readily available and low-cost wastes (eg raw wool,
feathers and textile by-products) is a promising natural polymer for tissue engineering and …

Trauma to the central and peripheral nervous systems often lead to serious morbidity.
Current surgical methods for repairing or replacing such damage have limitations. Tissue …

Abstract Laser Assisted Bioprinting (LAB) is recognized to be an enabling and versatile
microfabrication technology for regenerative medicine and artificial tissue engineering …

Enzymatic crosslinking of tyrosine is a simple and modular method for adding functional
peptides to silk fibroin (SF) hydrogels. Silk fibroin is a naturally derived polymer notable for …
