Multi-layer cell constructs produced in vitro are an innovative treatment option to support the growing demand for therapy in regenerative medicine. Our research introduces a novel construct integrating organ-derived decellularised extracellular matrix (dECM) hydrogels and 3D-printed biodegradable polymer …

Background: Most studies on older adults' vitality focus on linear connections between determinants and outcomes. To design more comprehensive and impactful approaches to support the vitality of older adults, a better understanding of the interplay among elements that shape their vitality is necessary. …

This paper investigates how visual cues—also known as nudges—can be systematically evaluated for their effectiveness in influencing player navigation within virtual reality (VR) environments. The research aims to establish a structured approach for testing and comparing visual nudges by observing player …

The Fab 25 research papers stream includes original scholarly writing from researchers studying the Fab Lab movement, its ambitions and its impact from a wide range of disciplines, including computer science, engineering, science and technology studies, business and management, education, urban studies, …

Purpose The Optimal Physical Recovery After Hospitalization (OPRAH) Intervention is a blended intervention, combining a smartphone app for self-monitoring of physical activity and protein intake with coaching from a physiotherapist and dietician, to enhance the functional recovery after gastro-intestinal …

Introduction Supporting patients to achieve healthy physical activity (PA) levels can enhance meaningful participation. However, interventions rarely result in sustained PA. There is a need for person-centred approaches that integrate patients' unique contexts and link them with principles of behavioural …

Research Aim So far, Implementation Science has mainly focused on implementing and de-implementing specific evidence-based interventions. However, this is not always feasible. Implementation science has not yet formulated a response to this. We believe that implementation science can provide an opportunity …

The focus of this deep-dive, facilitated by the ESF-staff, is on digital tooling to design PEDs, to predict and control the energy flows in a PED and to monitor PEDs and evaluate their effectiveness. All this to accelarete PED development in relation to the Mission of 100 climate-neutral and smart cities …

Virtual Reality (VR) is increasingly used for collaborative learning in education. To navigate these virtual learning environments, people use avatars. Understanding how people perceive avatars, and treat them humanly, is crucial for designing inclusive virtual learning environments. This study examines …
