The development of programmable functional biomaterials makes 4D printing add a new
dimension, time (t), based on 3D structures (x, y, z), therefore, 4D printed constructs could …

Current clinical treatment strategies for the bypassing of small diameter (< 6 mm) blood
vessels in the management of cardiovascular disease frequently fail due to a lack of suitable …

This work describes the use of fused deposition modelling (FDM) to prepare antiplatelet
