Microfluidic gradient generators that can create robust platforms that can not only be used for creating co-cultures of cells with various ratios, but also can simultaneously generate gradients of mechanical and chemical stresses. A chip utilizes microchambers embedded within channels to provide space for 3D cell culture and exposes these cells to gradients of mechanical shear stress and a chemical treatment.

Microfluidic device with embedded cell culture chambers for high throughput biological assays

A multi-material printer can include a housing that is configured to be handheld. The housing can be configured to receive first and second printable materials from respective first and second containers. A nozzle can define an outlet of the multi-material printer. At least one actuator can be configured to cause first and second printable materials from the first and second containers to flow at a respective constant rate. The multi-material printer can be configured to simultaneously extrude the first and second printable materials from the outlet. The multi-material printer can be used for fabricating a scaffold from filaments comprising the first and second materials directly within the body of a human or animal.

Multi-material in situ bioprinting

A medication bottle includes an outer container wall, an inner container wall and a fluid, such as an aversive liquid, located between the walls. In another aspect, the fluid is located within separate compartments or channels located between the walls where the walls contact or are secured to each other. A further aspect provides a removeable cap including multiple sensors, at least one of which is a biometric sensor.

Medication bottle with anti-tampering features

A filament or printing material placed in a syringe for 3D printing comprising polymers, proteins, and/or functional particles and materials is provided. Methods of treating a bone defect in a subject in need thereof comprising using a handheld 3D printer to apply a filament or the printing material placed in a syringe to the bone defect of the subject are also provided. Methods of fixing or gluing natural or synthetic bone grafts using a handheld 3D printer to apply a filament or the printing material placed in a syringe over and around the defect or at the interface of a flap and the bone. Methods of printing a graft cage for retaining bone grafts and/or bone graft substitute in its desired location during healing for treatment of critical-sized segmental defects in long bones are provided.
