Effective control of post-operative inflammation after tissue repair remains a clinical challenge. A tissue repair patch that could appropriately integrate into the surrounding tissue and control inflammatory responses would improve tissue healing. A collagen-based hybrid tissue repair patch has been developed in this work for the local delivery of an anti-inflammatory drug.

To expand the practical feasibility of organic semiconductor-based TFTs, their electrical properties should be easily accessed from the fully printed devices through a scalable printing method, such as a roll-to-roll (R2R) gravure. In this study, four commercially available organic semiconductors were separately formulated into gravure inks.
