Temperature-responsive biometamaterials for gastrointestinal applications

Temperature-responsive biometamaterials for gastrointestinal applications

We hypothesized that ingested warm fluids could act as triggers for biomedical devices. We investigated heat dissipation throughout the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract by administering warm (55°C) water to pigs and identified two zones in which thermal actuation could be applied: esophageal (actua...
