Xeno Free Peptide–Cellulose Bioinks for 3D Bioprinting
Current 3D‑printing bioinks rely heavily on animal‑derived collagen/gelatin or GelMA, with variability, pathogen and immunogenicity concerns, and reliance on UV or chemical crosslinking that can harm cells. There is a growing demand for fully xeno‑free, mechanically tunable bioinks that print complex, load‑bearing constructs without external crosslinkers while maintaining high cell viability. The technology: A fully […] Read More >
Asymmetric Chemical Vapor Deposition (A-CVD) for Manufacturing Thick, High-Quality Graphite Films
Efficient thermal management is critical for modern electronics, including integrated circuits and data centers, as well as specialized industrial components. These applications demand materials with ultra-high thermal conductivity. While graphite is an ideal candidate, the thermal conductivity of currently available mass-produced graphitic products is often insufficient due to the low crystal quality inherent in standard […] Read More >
4D Printing of Human Vascularized Cardiac Tissues
Conventional 3D bioprinting cannot reliably generate true capillary-scale networks with precise spatial control under cell‑compatible conditions. This technology introduces a one‑step, multi‑kinetic 4D bioprinting platform that prints multiple cell‑laden bioinks in a single process and then triggers coordinated, selective shrinkage of pre‑designed vessels down to capillary dimensions under physiological conditions. Technology Description A thermo‑responsive, cell‑friendly […] Read More >
Scalable Wet-Etching Technology for High-Resolution MXene Microelectrodes
MXenes are an emerging class of highly conductive, two dimensional materials that combine metallic performance with solution based processing. These properties position MXenes as promising candidates for next generation technologies in microelectronics, sensing, and flexible devices. Despite their potential, widespread adoption has been limited by the lack of a practical and scalable method that can […] Read More >
Encapsulation of Hydrogenase via Peptide Self-Assembly for Hydrogen Production
Hydrogen is a clean, renewable energy carrier with vast potential to replace fossil fuels. Biological catalysts called hydrogenases, particularly [FeFe] hydrogenases, can efficiently produce hydrogen (H₂) by catalyzing proton reduction under mild conditions. Harnessing these enzymes in electrochemical systems offers a promising path toward sustainable hydrogen generation. Unmet Need Despite their potential, integrating hydrogenases into […] Read More >
Biocompatible Reinforcement of Cellularized Tissues Using Small Molecule Crosslinkers
Existing chemical crosslinking methods such as UV-based, genipin or enzymatic are often cytotoxic and incompatible with the presence of living cells, or result in inhomogeneous reinforcement (primarily surface over core). Moreover, reinforcing ECM whilst ensuring uniform cell viability and spatial distribution in thick tissues remains challenging, particularly when robust mechanical properties are needed post-fabrication. Technology […] Read More >
Eco-Friendly, Lignin-free Cellulose Scaffolds from Green Macroalgae for Biomedical Applications
Unmet Need • Sustainability: there is a need for materials supply that is both biocompatible and eco-friendly • Engineering constraints: many available cellulose scaffolds lack tunable structural features (e.g., pore size, fiber orientation) that closely mimic native extracellular matrices (ECM) for specific tissue engineering uses • Cost: bacterial cellulose (used for wound dressings and tissue […] Read More >
Light-Controlled Nanostructured Device for Biomolecule Separation
In the realms of proteomics, genomics, and biosensing, the analysis of complex biological samples such as blood and urine presents significant challenges. These samples contain a vast array of biomolecules, often exceeding 10,000 proteins with concentration variations spanning over 10 orders of magnitude. Traditional methods like chromatography, electrophoresis, and centrifugation are either time-consuming or lack […] Read More >
