New silk-based material that looks, feels and moves like leather

New smart materials pave the way for intelligent solar cells that can follow the sun and more

Smart fabrics can monitor the body and the environment by using bioactive inks to change color

Cultured meat takes another step toward growing meat from livestock animal cells for human consumption

Cultured meat could reduce resources required in meat production, with a smaller environmental footprint relative to animal farming A team of Tufts University-led researchers exploring the development of cultured meat found that the addition of the iron-carrying protein myoglobin improves the growth, texture and color of bovine muscle grown from cells in culture. This development

On-demand high resolution wrinkling for reversible printing

Scientists engineer on-demand high resolution wrinkling for reversible printing and thermal regulation Researchers at Tufts University School of Engineering have developed silk materials that can wrinkle into highly detailed patterns – including words, textures and images as intricate as a QR code or a fingerprint. The patterns take about one second to form, are stable,

3-D engineered bone marrow makes functioning platelets

Scalable model supports patient-specific treatments, advanced study of blood disorders A team led by researchers at Tufts University School of Engineering and the University of Pavia has reported development of the first three-dimensional tissue system that reproduces the complex structure and physiology of human bone marrow and successfully generates functional human platelets. Using a biomaterial

New collagen scaffolding technique to benefit tissue engineering

The result is a collagen scaffolding that is stronger than that produced by conventional processes. Collagen is the main component of connective tissues and the most abundant protein in the human body. Biocompatible and biodegradable, it is an excellent material for making scaffolding for tissue engineering. The trouble is, conventional techniques disrupt the fibrous structure

Implantable Silk Optics Multi-Task in the Body

These tiny mirror-like devices dissolve harmlessly at predetermined rates and require no surgery to remove them Tufts University School of Engineering researchers have demonstrated silk-based implantable optics that offer significant improvement in tissue imaging while simultaneously enabling photo thermal therapy, administering drugs and monitoring drug delivery. The devices also lend themselves to a variety of
