Tissue/organ repair has been the ultimate goal of surgery from ancient times to the present. Repair has traditionally taken two forms: (i) tissue grafting and organ transplantation, and (ii) ...

“Imagine you lose a piece of bone by accident or disease,” PhD student Ehsan Rezabeigi told the audience of his three-minute thesis presentation in April 2013. “The healing process would be long and ...

This article reviews recent developments and major issues in the use and design of biomaterials for use as scaffolds in pediatric tissue engineering. A brief history of tissue engineering and the ...

Viability of 3D-printed tissue scaffolds has been demonstrated to harmlessly degrade while promoting tissue regeneration following implantation, as per a study at the University of Birmingham's School ...

This CRP will support interested institutions in preparation and testing of instructive scaffolds and surfaces using radiation technology to create tissue grafts and help to decrease the need for ...

StemJournal, a new open access, peer-reviewed journal published by IOS Press, announces publication of its inaugural article, "Combining Stem Cells and Biomaterial Scaffolds for Constructing Tissues ...

Top biomedical engineering researcher develops synthetic scaffolds for tendon and ligament regeneration. Previous synthetic tendon grafts have led to poor outcomes and implant rejection. Australia has ...

Neuronal cells cultured in the laboratory or in vitro provide a model to understand neuronal biology. Neurons derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC) are a tool to study neurobiology and ...

Northwestern Engineering researchers have developed a new way to manipulate a virus shell that self-assembles from proteins and holds promise as a carrier for disease detection, drug delivery, and ...
