Controlled Magneto-Mechanical Processes may Lead to New Generation of Artificial Muscles Written by AZoMMay 7 2021 "The overarching idea of this research project is to influence different biological processes at the cellular level (i.e., wound healing, brain synapses or nervous system responses) by developing timely engineering applications", explains 4D-BIOMAP's lead researcher, Daniel García González from the UC3M's Department of Continuum Mechanics and Structural Analysis. The so-called magneto-active polymers are revolutionising the fields of solid mechanics and materials science. These...

Educational establishments can provide more than one type of education, which can affect the structure of a partial exemption method. There are no tuition fees in Scotland, but the rest of the UK has had tuition fees since 1998. variable tuition fees were introduced on 1 August 2006 in England and Northern Ireland and on 1 August 2007 in Wales. Research HEIs, in particular, receive income to undertake specific research, Research can be divided into commissioned research and university-led research. Commissioned research would be undertaken at the request of a client for an agreed consideratio...

Date Time Bioprinted mini pancreas will help in fight against diabetes EPFL spin-off Readily3D has developed a novel system that can print biological tissue in just 30 seconds. The firm’s technology is being used in a large-scale European project to develop a living model of the pancreas for testing new drugs. First you see it as a transparent shape on a computer screen – a small electronic replica of the human pancreas. Then just 30 seconds later the tissue is printed out on a bioprinter, blood vessels and all, from a sample of human stem cells. This amazing feat is possible thanks to re...

Is European Universities Initiative helping to build EHEA? The European Universities Initiative has released new energy both for the Bologna Process and the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), according to a new analysis. The activities now underway in the European university alliances, notably the legal side of establishing common degrees and cultural factors like the stronger influence of the student movements in the northern part of Europe, will determine the way forward, says the study by Dan Andrée, a senior advisor at Karolinska Institute who represents the Stockholm Trio (KTH Roya...
