Electrically Conductive GelMA-Bioglass Biomaterials for Bone Repair and Regeneration comments

by Kibret Mequanint Rebeca Arambula Maldonado
Significant bone loss due to internal or external factors remains a large orthopedic challenge. Current interventions use either autograft or allograft sources that carry a significant complication burden and show limited functional recovery, emphasizing the demand for an alternative therapeutic solution...

Surface charge characterization of hydrogel and silicone hydrogel contact lenses comments

by Lina Liu
Contact lens surfaces may be ionic or electrically neutral. Base on how different lenses interact with various lens care solutions and how they are affected by interaction of different proteins or lipids from tear film, FDA categorised soft contact lenses into 4 distinct groups including two ionic contact lens Group III and group IV...

Prostaglandin E(2) Reverses Scar Tissue Production in Human Kidney Epithelial Cells: Implications for Biomaterial Implantation. comments

by Kim Jones Kimia Sorouri
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...
