Dear Trainees, Drs. Marcelo Munoz and Emilio Alarcon will facilitate a workshop on Peptide Synthesis and Applications in Regenerative Medicine at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute from August 14th to 17th, 2023...
Electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds are suitable for tissue engineering as their fibrous structure resembles nano micro fibre-like features of native extracellular matrix ECM , which facilitates cell attachment, growth and proliferation 1 ...
Scaffolds are artificial extracellular matrices which are capable of supporting cell growth and three-dimensional tissue formation, thus being important components for tissue engineering 1 ...
Since thirty years, efforts were put forward to engineer materials that could be used to build up biomedical devices that have to come in contact with human tissues...
Bioelastomers biocompatible elastic polymers are extensively used in tissue engineering due to their desirable mechanical strength, tunable properties, and chemical versatility...
A highly elastic and rapidly crosslinkable elastin-like polypeptide-based hydrogel for biomedical applications

Elastic hydrogels carry the potential to serve as scaffolds for various biomedical applications. Though some elastic hydrogels are biocompatible, most of the synthetic polymer-based elastic scaffolds lack bioactive sequences to promote cell adhesion or migration, which is important for their application in tissue engineering...
