Abstract Recent advances in bionics have made it possible to create various tissue and organs. Using this cell culture technology, engineers developed a robot driven by three-dimensional cultured muscle cells (bioactuator)—a robot. For more applications, researchers been tissues organs with bio3D printer. However, printed printer not used for yet. The aim of our study is develop easy fabricatio...

A willing seller and buyer voluntarily agree upon the price for exchange of X dollars one Y widget. The trade satisfies some their human wants. Both parties are better off having made profitable or they would not have transacted. Once widget becomes a life-saving organ, like kidney, all bets according to present prohibition on trades between two seeking themselves through an exchange. We conten...

The conventional concept of an 'undifferentiated perianth', implying that all perianth organs of a flower are alike, obscures the fact that individual perianth organs are sometimes differentiated into sepaloid and petaloid regions, as in the early-divergent angiosperms Nuphar, Nymphaea, and Schisandra. In the waterlilies Nuphar and Nymphaea, sepaloid regions closely coincide with regions of the...

Hollow, tubular organs including oesophagus, trachea, stomach, intestine, bladder and urethra may require repair or replacement due to disease. Current treatment is considered an unmet clinical need, and tissue engineering strategies aim to overcome these by fabricating synthetic constructs as tissue replacements. Smart, functionalised synthetic materials can act as a scaffold base of an organ ...

The Balkan Cities Association of Nephrology, Dialysis, Transplantation and Artificial Organs (BANTAO) was born in Ohrid (Figure 1), Republic of Macedonia, on 9 October 1993 at the first Congress of the Macedonian Society of Nephrology, Dialysis, Transplantation and Artificial Organs (MSNDTAO) [1]. At that very moment, bloody wars raged in former Yugoslavia. Fratricide, destruction and cruelty w...

In the last two decades, regenerative medicine has shown the potential for "bench-to-bedside" translational research in specific clinical settings. Progress made in cell and stem cell biology, material sciences and tissue engineering enabled researchers to develop cutting-edge technology which has lead to the creation of nonmodular tissue constructs such as skin, bladders, vessels and upper air...

We previously generated artificial lymph node-like tertiary lymphoid organs (artTLOs) in mice using lymphotoxin α-expressing stromal cells. Here, we show the construction of transplantable and functional artTLOs by applying soluble factors trapped in slow-releasing gels in the absence of lymphoid tissue organizer stromal cells. The resultant artTLOs were easily removable, transplantable, and we...

We report an interesting observation of minimization of bacterial attachment on titanium nitride coatings of increased thickness. DC magnetron sputtering method was used to prepare titanium nitride coatings of different thickness and the attachment of an oral bacteria Porphyromonas gingivalis was studied. With increase in thickness of the coatings the particle size increased and the order of ba...
