Treating aneurysms with injectable toothpaste-like biomaterials

by Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation  Aneurysms are weaknesses in the venous walls that can result in the ballooning and bursting of blood vessels. TIBI scientists have developed an enhanced hydrogel treatment to stop blood flow to the aneurysm until the vessel wall heals.

Personalized 3-D magnetic micromachines from patient blood-derived biomaterials

by Thamarasee Jeewandara , Medical Xpress A facile strategy for the 3D printed personalized micromachines from patient blood–derivable biomaterials. Harvested blood from the patient can be rapidly and robustly processed to obtain blood plasma, albumin, and platelet lysate. We use these biomacromolecules to prepare the microfabrication precursor mixtures containing the photosensitizer rose bengal and magnetic...
