The naturally derived material small intestinal submucosa SIS is a decellularized and collagen-rich extracellular matrix material derived from the submucosal layer of porcine intestine, is widely used in clinic and preclinic research, since it remains mainly structural and functional molecules of native extracellular matrix ECM , such as collagen, hyaluronic acid, and kinds of growth factors...

Bioactive glasses have long been studied as bone replacement materials. Owing to their lower chemical durability, bioactive borate glasses degrade more rapidly and consequently have a quicker conversion rate to bone-like mineral hydroxy-carbonated apatite, HCA when compared to the traditional silicate bioactive glasses 1 ...

Phospholipids containing phosphatidyl choline PC as a headgroup in cell membranes are proved to exist in all eukaryotic cells and at least 10 of all bacteria...

Magnesium alloys have the highest strength weight ratio of all known structural metals. They are a third lighter than aluminum and a quarter the density of steel...

Traditionally, controlled release from local delivery vehicles has involved diffusion-based strategies, where an encapsulated therapeutic diffuses slowly out of a nanoparticle...
