Visualising 3D printed scaffolds during mechanical loading
Melt electrowriting (MEW) is a 3D printing technique used in biofabrication and tissue engineering. It involves the deposition of molten polymer fibers using an electric field to create complex, customizable structures. MEW allows for precise control over fiber alignment, diameter, and spacing, enabling the creation of biomimetic tissue scaffolds with high structural integrity. These scaffolds can promote cell growth and tissue regeneration, making MEW a promising technology for advancing tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.Using our custom-built MEW 3D printers, our …

Investigation of host tissue response to synthetic pelvic meshes in patients with complications
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a prevalent disease affecting 37% of asymptomatic women. Pelvic mesh implantation is a common surgical procedure employed to treat stress urinary incontinence, rectal prolapse and pelvic organ prolapse. However, the use of pelvic meshes can cause complications such as erosion, infection, pain and discomfort, which sometimes require further surgery. In Australia, in November 2017, the TGA banned transvaginal mesh for prolapse. Currently, women with complications from their pelvic mesh may opt to have them surgically …

My flow: Menstrual cycle Femtech for elite athlete performance optimisation through wearable technology
There is a need for additional studies to monitor on-field performance parameters in female elite athletes (Meignié 2021). We know that wearable sensors can be used to monitor the physiological and biochemical profile of athletes (Seshadri 2019), and a combination of several wearables is going to be more effective for accessing all relevant parameters (Düking 2016). However, there is limited research on the effects of menstrual cycle phases on elite athlete performance (Meignié 2021).This proposed research aims to bridge the …
