Wound healing with the power of peptides

Injuries to the nerves require prompt treatment. The common nerve repair procedure involves stitching the wounded nerve together. Led by Dr. Christopher Synatschke, the research team of Professor Tanja Weil (Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research) has now developed a biomaterial that is designed to promote our body’s natural self-healing mechanisms.

Theranostic implants - today and tomorrow

When we hear the term "implant", most of us primarily think of dental or hip implants. Meanwhile, the Fraunhofer Institute for Microelectronic Circuits and Systems researches different types of devices, so-called theranostic implants, which are designed to make life easier for patients.

Lightweight exosuit made from textiles
Between walking at a leisurely pace and running for your life, human gaits can cover a wide range of speeds. Typically, we choose the gait that allows us to consume the least amount of energy at a given speed. For example, at low speeds, the metabolic rate of walking is lower than that of running in a slow jog; at high speeds, the metabolic rate of running is lower than that of speed walking.

Wearable motion sensors could save unborn babies
The thump, thump of a baby's heartbeat is a milestone in any pregnancy. Now, researchers at Stevens Institute of Technology have developed a technique that could allow expectant parents to hear their baby's heartbeat continuously at home with a non-invasive and safe device that is potentially more accurate than any fetal heartrate monitor currently available in the market.

Microtechnology: little robots to treat tumors
Targeting medical treatment is a practice as old as medicine itself. But what is inside the body, is not so easy to reach. In such cases, a treatment like surgery might be called for. Researchers in Caltech's Division of Engineering and Applied Science are working on microrobots that can deliver drugs to specific spots inside the body while being monitored and controlled from outside the body.

FRESH 3D printing rebuilds functional components of human heart
A team of researchers from Carnegie Mellon University has published a paper in Science that details a new technique allowing anyone to 3D bioprint tissue scaffolds out of collagen, the major structural protein in the human body. This first-of-its-kind method brings the field of tissue engineering one step closer to being able to 3D print a full-sized, adult human heart.
