Functional recovery following spinal cord injury SCI is limited due to a cascade of cellular and biomolecular events, termed secondary injury, that lead to cell loss and the expression of growth inhibitory molecules...

The transcription factor Ascl1 plays a key role in neural development and previous work by the Wernig group demonstrated that Ascl1 overexpression using viral vectors can reprogram fibroblasts directly in neurons through the process of cellular reprogramming ADDIN EN...

In Dentistry, resin composite materials take advantage of unique properties from the individual composite s components to address the clinical challenge of restoring tooth damage due to congenital deformation, trauma, and or decay dental caries ...

Bioactive glasses BGs are glasses with networks in either the silicate, borate, or phosphate systems, that form hydroxyl carbonate apatite HCA on the surface when introduced into a physiological environment...

Myofibroblasts have been implicated in scar tissue formation around biomaterials. When biomaterials are implanted as part of a tissue engineered construct, as a sensor, as a prosthetic or even as a drug delivery device, scar formation fibrosis around the biomaterial often interferes with the intended function...
