Soft robotics is an emerging field of robotics that focuses on the design of soft machines and
devices with effective human-machine interaction, high conformity, and environmental …

Conventional drug discovery and development is tedious and time-taking process; because
of which it has failed to keep the required pace to mitigate threats and cater demands of viral …

Abstract Organ-on-a-chip (OOC, organ chip) technology can closely simulate the human
microenvironment, synthesize organ-like functional units on a fluidic chip substrate, and …

Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally, trailing only heart disease. In the
United States alone, 1.9 million new cancer cases and 609,360 deaths were recorded for …

Tubulointerstitial fibrosis (TIF) is the most prominent cause which leads to chronic kidney
disease (CKD) and end-stage renal failure. Despite extensive research, there have been …

Inspired by the relatively simple morphology of Anura such as Rana Esculenta (a semi
aquatic frog), we propose the design, fabrication, characterization of a soft biomimetic …

Abstract Organ-on-a-chip (OOC) is an emerging interdisciplinary technology that
reconstitutes the structure, function, and physiology of human tissues as an alternative to …

Two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene, graphene oxide (GO), metal carbides
and nitrides (MXenes), transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDS), boron nitride (BN), and …

The inefficiency of existing animal models to precisely predict human pharmacological
effects is the root reason for drug development failure. Microphysiological system/organ-on …

Inspired by the simple yet amazing morphology of the Octopus, we propose the design,
fabrication, and characterization of multi-material bio-inspired soft Octopus robot (Octobot) …
