Making things stick - a crucial challenge! BioAdheSil is a new adhesive designed to help silicone medical devices "stick" to diverse biological tissues. 👉 ow.ly/bnNm50QgQPn

Combining a pig heart and a silicone robotic pump, researchers create a #biorobotic heart that simulates valve function. Study now published in Device: cell.com/device/fulltex… Ellen Roche MIT

Device Ellen Roche MIT This biorobotic heart can mimic the structure, function, and motion of a healthy or diseased heart. This allows training of surgeons and researchers on surgical interventions while collecting real-time data. Device: cell.com/device/fulltex…

Biorobotic hybrid heart as a benchtop cardiac mitral valve simulator by Ellen Roche & co-workers cell.com/device/fulltex… Highlights: • Development of a high-fidelity beating heart simulator • Biohybrid integration of preserved intracardiac tissue and soft robotic cardiac

I had the pleasure of visiting Ellen in November and got to see this in action -- it's genuinely awe-inspiring seeing it beat like a real heart. This platform is going to genuinely revolutionize how we handle mitral valve surgery, with much better prognoses for patients.

January's issue of Device is online now and features some truly incredible new articles, from biorobotic hearts to space tape! cell.com/device/current On the cover: A high-fidelity model mimics the complex anatomy and function of mitral valve apparatus to test surgical and

This week's issue of #ScienceTranslationalMedicine has arrived!  A ketogenic diet shows early signs of promise in patients with sepsis, a soft biorobotic heart helps scientists design better valve implants for heart defects, and more. scim.ag/7CL

Scientists present a soft #biorobotic heart to assess the feasibility and safety of new valve designs and #biomaterials to correct #TetralogyofFallot, offering a reliable model to inform reconstructive heart surgery. Manisha Singh MIT IMES Ellen Roche MIT scim.ag/7FV

Who knew a heartbeat could be so beautiful? I'm stunned by the visualization of this new biorobotic heart. That and more of the best in Science Magazine and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: science.org/content/articl…
