Dr. George Pantalos, bioengineering and cardiovascular and thoracic surgery professor with the UofL Cardiovascular Innovation Institute, in September took four UofL students to Houston where they conducted more tests in zero-gravity on the astrosurgery device he is developing with researchers at Carnegie Melon. This was the third time since 2012 that Dr. Pantalos and his research team tested the device in zero-G. The device is the Aqueous Immersion Surgical System – a water- and airtight-device that isolates surgical incisions and controls bleeding in a zero-gravity environment. The device seeks to control the escape of blood and bodily fluids in this environment, currently impossible to do. The ultimate goal is to develop a system that long-range space flights (such as to Mars) could use if surgery is needed onboard the spacecraft. However, applications on Earth for the device would be when sterile conditions are hard to come by, such as in war zones or areas where medical facilities are not present.

Bioengineers in Prashant Mali's lab have developed a 3D bioprinting technique that works with natural materials and is easy to use, allowing researchers of varying levels of technical expertise to create lifelike tissues, such as blood vessels and a vascularized gut. The goal is to make human organ models that can be studied outside the body or used to test new drugs ex vivo.

Workshop by Nathan Thompson (AU), Guy Ben-Ary (AU), Yoko Shimizu (JP)
In-Vitro Intelligence (IVI) suggests an intelligent, bioengineered system harbouring living neural networks that function as brains outside of the body. The workshop hosts believe it is inevitable that IVI driven entities will grow more sophisticated and find widespread use in, for instance, their IVI driven “Surrogate Performers”. On Sept. 8, Futurelab Day, the workshop touched upon the challenges: What does it mean to bioengineer IVI Surrogate Performers? And what are the practical, cultural and ethical implications?

The Umbrella Corporation is a fictional bioengineering pharmaceutical company in the Resident Evil universe, that serves as one of main antagonists in the series. It is portrayed in the games as a major international player in a number of markets including pharmaceuticals, medical hardware, defense, and computers along with more clandestine operations utilizing genetic engineering and accused viral weaponry. The company is also presented as having a more public face, producing cosmetics, consumer products and foods. One of Umbrella's subsidiaries is UBCS (Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service), a private military contractor with a highly trained security force capable of rescue and reconnaissance paramilitary operations. The corporation also uses its secret special forces group to secure and protect its assets and high profile employees.

With pre-eclampsia and eclampsia a leading cause of maternal death in Nepal, Jhpiego in coordination with the Johns Hopkins Center for Bioengineering Innovation and Design is planning to come up with an improved and affordable innovation that women can use at home. Dr. Kusum Thapa, Jhipego’s Regional Technical Advisor, explained Dr. Rajiv Shah the benefits of this new test and how it is efficient compared to the dipstick method currently in use.

The Edinburgh Modular Arm System (EMAS) was the world's first bionic arm, built in 1998 by the Bioengineering Centre, Scotland. It was designed as a modular system so the joints could be fitted to patients with a range of different prosthetic needs.

A student demonstrates his team's project, "A Device for Hands-Free Home Urine Testing," sponsored by Joeseph Gyekis. The team designed a device that could be installed in patients' homes that could collect a urine sample while allowing the toilet to function as normal. The team included Alex Ortega (ME), Srdan Kalaba (BioE), Chris Ignozzi (ME) and Michael Malizia (ME).
The rate at which a TEC degrades is critical and should be proportional to the rate of tissue infiltration and production. In practice, this matter has met with little success. The degradation depends on the type of biomaterial, its surface chemistry, and the local environment. Since design constraints of scaffold micro-architectures have not been identified, material scientists have been unable to develop biomaterials that have the sufficient strength of bone tissue and the rapid degradation rates required for metabolic turnover. Additionally, the degradation profile severely affects the tissue, if not the apparent, mechanical properties. As the tissue accumulates in the scaffold domain, the locations of de novo tissue determine the isostress and isostrain relationships. Hutmacher proposed a degradation profile where initially, at time t=zero, the implant accounts for the entire mass and volume of the design space while at t=∞, after scaffold degradation, the bone will be self-supporting.

A team of researchers has developed a system that uses ultrasound to remotely activate genetic processes inside CAR-T cells so that they can target and kill cancer cells. This work addresses one of the major challenges of of CAR-based immunotherapy: non-specific targeting of CAR-T cells against nonmalignant tissues. Researchers say this work could ultimately lead to more precise and efficient CAR-T cell therapies that can better target malignant over benign tissues.

Researchers led by UC San Diego built a device that sorts and separates cancer cells from the same tumor based on how “sticky” they are. They found that less sticky cells migrate and invade other tissues more than their stickier counterparts, and have genes that make tumor recurrence more likely.
