Tuning the mechanical properties of polymer-based surrogate materials for articular cartilage and vocal fold repair

This study develops synthetic surrogate materials for articular cartilage and vocal folds by tuning their mechanical properties to mimic native tissues.

Simulation of aerosol dispersion during medical examinations

This study simulates aerosol dispersion during medical procedures and finds that surgical masks reduce particle spread, but exposure remains high during certain procedures unless patients wear masks.
