14th Intl Symposium on Biodegradable Metals for Applications on behalf of Professor Mantovani and the Quebec City Student Chapter Want to discover the next generation of bioresorbable metals aiming to bridge the gap between biomaterials and tissue engineering for pediatric, dental, orthopedic, vascular, cardiac, neurological applications, and more? The final program of the upcoming 14th Intl Symposium on Biodegradable Metals for Biomedical Applications is now online...
Purpose The objective of this project was to deliver a unique malleable DNA-based hydrogel scaffold that can easily be injected by orthopedic surgeons, will set and integrate to the injured site after placement, and will be resorbed over time as it induces rapid in situ tissue regeneration via sustained delivery of osteoinductive drugs...
There is a significant need to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the potential drug candidates in early-stage of the development pipeline to prevent skyrocketing costs of failure in the late-stages of clinical trials or drugs attrition from the market 1...
Several adhesives found in nature perform in ways that synthetic adhesives do not yet match. For example, even though many aquatic organisms have adapted to adhere to surfaces in aqueous environments, it remains an engineering challenge to synthesize biocompatible adhesives that are effective in wet conditions...
In recent years, adverse local tissue reactions ALTRs have been observed in total hip implants that use CoCrMo femoral head articulating against highly-crosslinking polyethylene HXLPE liner, raising an urgent concern to the biomedical community...
Cell therapy is increasingly used to treat various diseases such myocardial infarction. This therapeutic approach is limited however by the poor retention and diminished survival of transplanted cells in the ischemic, inflammatory and oxidative infarct microenvironment...
