Special issue in Advanced Healthcare Materials, edited by Jürgen Groll and Jos Malda, covers bioinks, melt electrowriting, printing bone tissue, islet cells, tendons, skin, trachea, kidneys and more.
Have Your Cake…and Eat the Packaging Too
Researchers study chickpea flour as a potential building block for biodegradable (and edible) packaging materials.
Oh Buoy! Engineering Gradient Tissues
A simple, quick and versatile approach for fabricating gradient tissues through the physical force of buoyancy.
Putting a Spin on a Carbon Dioxide Photocatalysis Spin-Off
Carbon dioxide photocatalysis, a new future with three fundamental questions, how do we optimize photonic efficiency, how should we scale, and what should we make?
Organic Nanomaterials from Self-Assembled Peptoids
Alessia Battigelli reviews organic materials formed by the self-assembly of peptoids in Biopolymers
Bio-Interfaces for Immuno-Engineering

Are Woodpeckers Bullheaded?
A combination of experiments and simulations show how woodpeckers are protected from concussion by the structure of their skull.
Stem Cell-Macrophage Interactions with Ferumoxytol and Ferumoxytol-derived Nanoparticles
“Off the shelf” allogeneic stem cell transplants and stem cell nano‐composites are being used for the treatment of degenerative bone diseases. However, major and minor histocompatibility antigens of therapeutic cell transplants can be recognized as foreign and lead to their rejection by the host immune system.
Industrial Carbon Dioxide Photocatalysis
Researchers at the University of Toronto discuss the origins and advances of carbon dioxide photocatalysis.
