    Assembly Mechanism of Mucin and von Willebrand Factor Polymers - 4 year(s) ago

    Javitt et al. describe molecularly how mucin glycoproteins and von Willebrand factor—complex macromolecules responsible for mucociliary clearance in the lung, the intestinal mucosal barrier, and blood clotting—use a shared mechanism to form polymers and hydrogels that protect the respiratory tract, intestinal tract, and vasculature.

    Sweating robot muscle 3D printed - 4 year(s) ago

    Recent research has developed a 3D-printed robot muscle that can cool off by ‘sweating’. The regulation of robotic temperature in soft materials could have substantial impact in long-term performance.

      The team at @Cornell produced finger-like parts responsible for movement, called actuators, made out of #hydrogels that can retain water and are temperature sensitive. Find out more on @3DMedNet. #3Dprinting #Robotics https://t.co/3sTPUVn8G5
