The development of vasculature remains a major challenge in the generation of viable engineered tissue constructs...

Lipid-modified low molecular weight polyethyleneimines LMW PEIs are promising non-viral gene delivery systems that have been successfully explored for the treatment of various diseases through the delivery of plasmid DNA pDNA or mRNA to expression therapeutic proteins thereby restoring the defective protein, for the knockdown of aberrant proteins using RNA interference RNAi with short interfering RNA siRNA or for the complete knockout of the gene using CRISPR technology 1, 2 ...

Corrosion on modular hip implants is a complicated process accelerated by mechanical abrasion. There are two types of mechanically assisted corrosion on modular hip implants - tribocorrosion from the bearing surface and fretting corrosion from modular interfaces...

Lipid nanoparticles LNPs containing short infering RNA siRNA and messenger RNA mRNA have been clinically shown to be able to treat the root cause of genetic diseases and confer protection against infection as with Onpattro and the recent COVID-19 vaccines, respectively...

Reconstruction of critically-sized segmental bone defects CSBDs - resulting from bone tumour resection and trauma, for example - is a significant clinical challenge...
