- Research on 3D-Printed Biomimetic Scaffold Simulating Microfibril Muscle Structure
- Research on 3D-Printed Biomimetic Scaffold Simulating Microfibril Muscle Structure In the human body, microfibril structures can be found in several types of tissue, such as muscles, nerves, and even tendons. In particular, muscle tissues have uniaxially-aligned microfibrous structures. The team (first author: Won Jin KIM) led by Geun Hyung KIM (Department of Biomechatronics Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University) fabricated a structure composed of bundled poly (e-caprolactone) (PCL) microfibers coated with collagen. To obtain the bundle of uniaxially-aligned (PCL) microfibers, 4D printing methods using a poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) fibrillation/leaching process were used. PVA was dissolved in distilled water to fibrillate the PVA. Then, PCL was added to the PVA solution and mixed. After mixing, the PVA/PCL mixture was printed using a 3D printer. The fabricated 3D structure was immersed in water to leach the fibrillated PVA. By using this simple fabricating method, a uniaxially micropatterned/fibrous PCL bundle was achieved. The fabricated structure was supplemented with collagen to increase the biocompatibility of the PCL bundle. The hybrid microfibrillated structure promoted myoblast proliferation and myogenic differentiation. “Due to the 4D printing process, it was able to have high efficiency in the fabrication of 3D scaffolds with highly aligned microfibrous bundles. In addition, a variety of designs and complex microscale-patterned 3D structures were constructed because of a highly versatile 3D printing method,” Prof. KIM said. Published article: W. Kim, M.

- ‘Sungkyunkwan University-Kaywon University of Art &Design’ Young Teampreneur(Team+Enterpreneur)
- ‘Sungkyunkwan University-Kaywon University of Art &Design’ Young Teampreneur(Team+Enterpreneur) ‘Change Maker Lab’ to change one’s own self and the world Teampreneur (team + entrepreneur) of Sungkyunkwan University and Kaywon University of Art & Design challenged collaborative entrepreneurship (education) that broke the stereotypes of the enterprise culture of "DO NOT WORK IN PARTNERSHIP". About fifty students from two universities participated in 'the Change Maker Lab', a team entrepreneur program, for five months from last September to January this year. Bo-kyoung Jang(SKKU Genetic Engineering, Psychology 4th): The confirmation of the profit model of our team was one item called '12 o'clock' which connects you and me to questions. We earned about 100,000 KRW. We also promoted a business that delivers food to the lecture room for students who skip the morning meal, a life event plan that offers a performance for young people to sympathize with, and an emoticon project that uses funny Chinese characters. There were team members who did not know at all before and had different expectations. I realized that whatever I do, I really need someone to fill my gap. I learned the entrepreneurship that can challenge the world by stepping out of my frame. This article is a translation of Hankyoreh21 article.

- Hidden Science in Pyeongchang Olympic sports clothing
- Hidden Science in Pyeongchang Olympic sports clothing The 2018 Winter Olympics was held in Pyeongchang, Korea. Particularly, the athletes won numerous medals and received the public's acclaim in the short track race where Korea stands out the most. Let's take a closer look at what scientific principles are hidden in sports clothing of short track and speed skating. The short track speed skating To reduce the impact when athletes fall, sports clothes are made of bulletproof material on the shin and main parts. Because of the nature of the short track race, the athletes are turning the circle of the link at high speed, so reducing the resistance and friction of the air is an essential feature of the competition. Also, several athletes play in one race at the same time, so that players can collide with each other and hurt, so there are uniforms with pockets to wear various pads. The speed skating The difference from the short track is that the speed skating wears an all-in-one uniform from head to toe without a helmet. Both have the same goal of reducing air resistance, but speed skating is important for minimizing air resistance up to the head because it is competition which is challenging up to 0.01 seconds. So, instead of a helmet, athletes wear a hood attached to the sports clothes so that air does not enter the forehead and ears. This article is a translation of SKKUZINE.
