Researchers have created a smart wound soldering paste called iSolder (intelligent solder).


Nanoparticle-based paste

In a conventional tissue soldering method, the application of heat causes the paste to polymerize, resulting in bonding with the underlying tissue. This efficiently closes the wound and promotes rapid healing.

This laser-based smart wound closure paste was created using the bonding agent containing metallic and ceramic nanoparticles.

“We combined the predictive model with patient feedback from the PCI Patient Advisory Council to transform machine learning into this patient-centered, individualized risk prediction tool,” said senior author Hitinder Gurm, MBBS, interim chief medical officer at U-M Health.

The tool can help you and your doctor make informed decisions about your treatment. It can also educate you about the potential risks and benefits of PCI. By using the tool, you can have more confidence and control over your health.

The researchers hope that the tool will improve the quality and safety of PCI, and ultimately, save lives.

Anthrobots: These remarkable spheroid-shaped multicellular biological robots, or biobots, are not the products of advanced robotics laboratories but are instead born from the inherent potential of adult human somatic progenitor seed cells.
