Three-dimensional bioprinting is a technology in constant development, mainly due to its extraordinary potential to revolutionize regenerative medicine. It allows fabrication through the additive deposition of biochemical products, biological materials, and living cells for the generation of structures in bioengineering. There are various techniques and biomaterials or bioinks that are suitable for bioprinting. Their rheological properties are directly related to the quality of these processes. In this study, alginate-based hydrogels were prepared using CaCl as ionic crosslinking agent. Their rheological behavior was studied, and simulations of the bioprinting processes under predetermined conditions were carried out, looking for possible relationships between the rheological parameters and the variables used in the bioprinting processes. A clear linear relationship was found between the extrusion pressure and the flow consistency index rheological parameter, , and between the extrusion time and the flow behavior index rheological parameter, . This would allow simplification of the repetitive processes currently applied to optimize the extrusion pressure and dispensing head displacement speed, thereby helping to reduce the time and material used as well as to optimize the required bioprinting results.

The glassy state of inorganic-organic hybrid metal halides combines their excellent optoelectronic properties with the outstanding processability of glass, showcasing unique application potential in solar devices, display technologies, and plastic electronics. Herein, by tailoring the organic cation from -phenylpiperazine to dimethylamine gradually, four types of zero-dimensional antimony halides are obtained with various optical and thermal properties. The guest water molecules in crystal (-phenylpiperazine)SbCl·Cl·5HO lead to the largest distortion of the Sb-halogen unit, resulting in the red emission different from the yellow emission of other compounds.

Purpose: The purpose of this research was to develop and characterize dual-drug Isoniazid-Pyridoxine gummies using Semisolid Extrusion (SSE) 3D printing technology, aimed at personalized dosing for a broad patient demographic, from pediatric to geriatric. This study leverages SSE 3D printing, an innovative approach in personalized medicine, to enable precise dose customization and improve patient adherence. By formulating dual drug-loaded gummies, the research addresses the challenges of pill burden and poor palatability associated with traditional tuberculosis regimens, ultimately enhancing the therapeutic experience and effectiveness for patients across various age groups.

Background: The lower birth canal is the final constriction through which a fetal head must pass for delivery. Unfortunately, injuries to the lower birth canal tissues occur in up to 19 % of first-time vaginal deliveries due to the 300 % stretch required.
Methods: This is a secondary analysis of data from 56 healthy nullipara recorded by a lower birth canal dilator during the first stage of labor.

Recovering the remaining oil after primary and secondary extraction methods poses a significant challenge. Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques, which involve injecting fluids into reservoirs, aim to increase recovery rates. Ionic liquids, known for their adaptability, are emerging as promising agents in EOR, improving oil displacement by reshaping fluid properties and interacting with reservoir rocks.

Corneal blindness, a leading cause of visual impairment globally, has created a pressing need for alternatives to corneal transplantation due to the severe shortage of donor tissues. In this study, we present a novel interpenetrating network hydrogel composed of gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) and oxidized carboxymethyl cellulose (OxiCMC) for bioprinting a biomimetic corneal stroma equivalent. We tested different combinations of GelMA and OxiCMC to optimize printability and subsequently evaluated these combinations using rheological studies for gelation and other physical, chemical, and biological properties.
