“…Nevertheless, when the pH is lower than 5.6, the produced acidic abused materials stimulate a local inflammatory reaction and dissolve the surrounding apatite, which is the major drawback of these scaffolds. Among the polymeric scaffolds, PLGA, PLCL, and other polyester and their copolymer are widely used ( Pangesty et al, 2017 ; Mirchandani et al, 2021 ; Shetty et al, 2021 ; Srimaneepong et al, 2021 ; Srimaneepong et al, 2022a ; Mirza et al, 2022 ; Mubaraki et al, 2022 ; Patel et al, 2022 ; Ramzan et al, 2022 ; Syed et al, 2022 ). They can also be produced in different sizes, including nano-scales; however, insufficient ECM-mimicry and possible toxic byproducts after degradation are noticeable limitations of synthetic materials ( Marti et al, 2013 ).…”

The state-of-the-art approach to regenerating different tissues and organs is tissue engineering which includes the three parts of stem cells (SCs), scaffolds, and growth factors. Cellular behaviors such as propagation, differentiation, and assembling the extracellular matrix (ECM) are influenced by the cell’s microenvironment. Imitating the cell’s natural environment, such as scaffolds, is vital to create appropriate tissue. Craniofacial tissue engineering refers to regenerating tissues found in the brain and the face parts such as bone, muscle, and artery. More biocompatible and biodegradable scaffolds are more commensurate with tissue remodeling and more appropriate for cell culture, signaling, and adhesion. Synthetic materials play significant roles and have become more prevalent in medical applications. They have also been used in different forms for producing a microenvironment as ECM for cells. Synthetic scaffolds may be comprised of polymers, bioceramics, or hybrids of natural/synthetic materials. Synthetic scaffolds have produced ECM-like materials that can properly mimic and regulate the tissue microenvironment’s physical, mechanical, chemical, and biological properties, manage adherence of biomolecules and adjust the material’s degradability. The present review article is focused on synthetic materials used in craniofacial tissue engineering in recent decades.

“…[28] has a different design, but similar degrees of freedom, and is equipped with a force sensor; such a feedback system was not yet implemented here. Other studies mentioning myoelectric finger control are usually related to full hand prostheses [39,40] or evaluate myoelectric signals during finger control in general for future implementation [41][42][43][44].…”

Design, Construction and Tests of a Low-Cost Myoelectric Thumb

Myoelectric signals can be used to control prostheses or exoskeletons as well as robots, i.e., devices assisting the user or replacing a missing part of the body. A typical application of myoelectric prostheses is the human hand. Here, the development of a low-cost myoelectric thumb is described, which can either be used as an additional finger or as prosthesis. Combining 3D printing with inexpensive sensors, electrodes, and electronics, the recent project offers the possibility to produce an individualized myoelectric thumb at significantly lower costs than commercial myoelectric prostheses. Alternatively, a second thumb may be supportive for people with special manual tasks. These possibilities are discussed together with disadvantages of a second thumb and drawbacks of the low-cost solution in terms of mechanical properties and wearing comfort. The study shows that a low-cost customized myoelectric thumb can be produced in this way, but further research on controlling the thumb as well as improving motorization are necessarily to make it fully usable for daily tasks.

“…A comprehensive overview of myoelectric control regarding finger prosthesis for patients with finger implants following multiple finger loss was presented by Srimaneepong et al [5]. It argued that the lack of somatosensory feedback and full control robustness, cannot provide sufficient control speed, and patients are incapable of reproducing various hand movements; primarily due to motion artifacts which typically occur in the lowfrequency range.…”
