Advanced 3D Printing to Fabricate Microfluidic Devices for Cancer and Stem Cells Co-culture Study in Space
(2015-12-09)Two different type of microfluidic devices were designed, fabricated and tested to capture the microspheres. The passive device seems to be more reliable because of no possibility of damage, whereas the thin film in active ... -
Emulsion Inks: A New Class of Materials for 3D Printing Porous Tissue Engineered Grafts
(2017-06-06)Tissue grafts are often crucial in restoring function and promoting healing after traumatic injury. Many synthetic materials have been developed, but these often suffer from inadequate tissue integration, limited ... -
An experimental model for calcium carbonate urolithiasis in goats
(American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2018-03-10)Background: Calcium carbonate is a common urolith type in small ruminants with no high-yield experimental model to evaluate animal susceptibility or preventative measure response. Hypothesis: That novel plastic winged ... -
Fabrication and Characterization of Porous 316L Stainless Steel Using Selective Laser Melting Technique for Biomedical Applications
(2018-07-30)Porous metals play essential roles in lowering the value of elastic modulus, achieving a modulus like that of the human body. Solid freeform fabrication has the potential to overcome the limitations of traditional manufacturing ... -
In-Situ 3D Printed Biosilicate Nanoparticle-based Scaffolds for Rapid Bone Defect Healing
(2016-08-22)Craniofacial reconstruction surgeries are extremely challenging because of the complex anatomy of the region and its proximity to the vital tissues. These surgeries usually require custom implants. Fabrication of a custom ... -
