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...
An ideal matrix or cell living environment is generally expected to have an appropriate morphology, mechanical properties, and biological compatibility...
Hydrogels have attracted significant interest in the context of tissue engineering due to their generally high cell compatibility and similar physical properties to native soft tissues...
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...
Flexible and highly interconnected, multi-scale patterned chitosan porous membrane produced in situ from mussel shell to accelerate wound healing
comments
We report a mussel shell-derived membrane with a multiscale ordered structure for wound dressing. As an ideal biologically derived dressing, it should be non-toxic and non-allergenic with an appropriate pore size to remove excess exudates...
Vascular tissue engineering has made significant advancement over the past decades toward the definition of optimal scaffolds, cell sources, and biomechanical culture parameters for obtaining engineered tissue ET products that resemble native tissues...
