B-knob triggered microgels (BK-TriGs) are injectable, engineered hydrogel particles designed to safely reduce bleeding in infants undergoing surgery. By mimicking the mechanical properties of natural platelets and utilizing specialized amino acid sequences, these microgels facilitate efficient blood clotting tailored specifically to neonatal biology.

HOBIT is a fully integrated, wireless implantable device that houses engineered, drug-producing cells and sustains them by actively generating local oxygen. It solves the critical challenge of keeping dense clusters of therapeutic cells alive in poorly oxygenated areas of the body, such as under the skin.

Researchers at ETH Zurich have 3D bioprinted elastic ear cartilage that retains its shape after implantation. Using cells from small surgical fragments, they grew millions of cells to create a custom ear implant that could replace current rib cartilage harvesting, which is painful and produces stiffer results. https://www.3dnatives.com/en/3d-bioprinting-of-elastic-ear-cartilage-20032026/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Medical #Biomedical
