(Nature Research, 2022-08-03)
      Fibrous capsule (FC) formation, secondary to the foreign body response (FBR), impedes molecular transport and is detrimental to the long-term efficacy of implantable drug delivery devices, especially when tunable, temporal ...
    • Soft robotic sleeve supports heart function 

      Roche, Ellen T.; Horvath, Markus A.; Wamala, Isaac; Alazmani, Ali; Song, Sang-Eun; Whyte, William; Machaidze, Zurab; Payne, Christopher J.; Weaver, James C.; Fishbein, Gregory; Kuebler, Joseph; Vasilyev, Nikolay V.; Mooney, David J.; Pigula, Frank A.; Walsh, Conor J. (American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2017-01-18)
      There is much interest in form-fitting, low-modulus, implantable devices or soft robots that can mimic or assist in complex biological functions such as the contraction of heart muscle. We present a soft robotic sleeve ...
