Many bone defects result from injuries do not repair without medical intervention. Autologous bone graft, the gold standard for treating bone defects, is challenging due to a donor scarcity and b donor site morbidity that follows the procedure...
Optic neuropathy is a common cause of vision loss resulting from death of retinal ganglion cells due to insufficient blood flow, inflammation, infection or trauma...
We present a nano-spray therapy for on-the spot-repair of a heart attack. Our sprayable therapy uses nano-engineered peptide-based materials, where nanomolar concentrations of surface engineered spherical nanogold are used to coat the surface of the cardiac muscle...
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...
