- Biomimetics, Vol. 8, Pages 226: Gut-on-a-Chip Research for Drug Development: Imp... The gut plays a key role in drug absorption and metabolism of orally ingested drugs. Additionally, the characterization of intestinal disease processes is increasingly gaining more attention, as gut health is an important contributor to our overall health. The most recent innovation to study intestinal processes in vitro is the...
- A noncommutative combinatorial protein logic circuit controls cell orientation i... Src-based nano-computing agent reversibly controls cell direction and dynamics on collagen nanolanes biomimetic fibers....
- Biomimetics, Vol. 8, Pages 201: Parameter Optimization and DEM Simulation of Bio... High wear rates during the tillage process often result in significant financial losses and wasted farming seasons. In this paper, a bionic design was used to reduce tillage wear. Inspired by wear-resistant animals with ribbed structures, the bionic ribbed sweep (BRS) was designed by combining a ribbed unit with a...

- Robo-gripper reflexively organizes cluttered spaces Robotics insights MIT researchers have developed a a pick-and-place robot with a gripper that grasps by reflex and can adapt if it fails to grasp an object the first time around. This is part of a larger theme as engineers and researchers are working on making robots behave more like...
- Robot plants could be used to grow infrastructure in space from scratch A variable-stiffness tendril-like soft robot (polyethylene terephthalate (PET) tube) based on reversible osmotic actuation. An osmosis-driven system that controls its turgidity and performs sophisticated tasks. IIT-Istituto Italiano di TecnologiaBarbara Mazzolai’s roboplants could analyze and enrich soil, search for water and other chemicals, and more. The post Robot plants could be...
- Speedy robo-gripper reflexively organizes cluttered spaces Rather than start from scratch after a failed attempt, the pick-and-place robot adapts in the moment to get a better hold....
- 3D bioprinting promises better scaffolds for knee repairs Schematic of the melt electrowriting (MEW) process for producing 3D bioprinted scaffolds for the growth of fibrocartilage tissue (inset photo).The meniscus keeps the knee stable and redistributes forces through the joint into surrounding collagen fibers. Despite their remarkable mechanical capabilities, the meniscus is prone to tear and, because of its...
- Surface modifications of COP-based microfluidic devices for improved immobilisat... Lab Chip, 2023, Accepted ManuscriptDOI: 10.1039/D3LC00075C, PaperSandra González-Lana, Teodora Randelovic, Jesus Ciriza, María López-Valdeolivas, Rosa Monge, Carlos Sanchez Somolinos, Ignacio OchoaThe tissue microenvironment plays a crucial role in tissue homeostasis and disease progression. However, the in vitro simulation has been limited by the lack of adequate biomimetic models in the...The...
- Robotic bees and roots offer hope of healthier environment and sufficient food The robotic bee replicants home in on the unsuspecting queen of a hive. But unlike the rebellious replicants in the 1982 sci-fi thriller Blade Runner, these ones are here to work. Combining miniature robotics, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, the plan is for the robotic bees to stimulate egg...
- Biomimicry Finding Success in Deep Tech 3 Ray of Hope Prize Alumni Win Big at the Hello Tomorrow Deep Tech Global Summit. The post Biomimicry Finding Success in Deep Tech appeared first on Biomimicry Institute....
- Facile construction of a 3D tumor model with multiple biomimetic characteristics... Lab Chip, 2023, Accepted ManuscriptDOI: 10.1039/D3LC00009E, PaperMeilin Sun, Jinwei Zhang, Wenzhu Fu, Tingting Xuanyuan, Wenming LiuThe establishment and application of biomimetic preclinical tumor models for generalizable and high-throughput antitumor screening play a promising role in drug discovery and cancer therapeutics. Herein, a facile and robust...The content of this RSS Feed...
