Maths Building, Room 203 (MB-203)
Abstract The gut–brain axis (GBA) connects the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system via the peripheral nervous system and humoral (e.g., circulatory and lymphatic system) routes. The GBA comprises a sophisticated interaction between various mammalian cells, gut microbiota, and systemic factors. This interaction shapes homeostatic and pathophysiological processes and plays an important role in the etiology of many disorders including neuropsychiatric conditions. However,...

Advances in additive manufacturing strategies for tailored drug release and tissue platforms Additive manufacturing offers a versatile toolbox for engineering biomaterials with precise control over architecture, composition, and drug release dynamics. Among these techniques, extrusion-based 3D printing has been widely explored for its ability to customise biomaterials to mimic native tissues, fabricate patterned hydrogels, and enable hybrid printing with multifunctional capabilities-allowing...
