A highly elastic and rapidly crosslinkable elastin-like polypeptide-based hydrogel for biomedical applications
comments
by
Elastic hydrogels carry the potential to serve as scaffolds for various biomedical applications. Though some elastic hydrogels are biocompatible, most of the synthetic polymer-based elastic scaffolds lack bioactive sequences to promote cell adhesion or migration, which is important for their application in tissue engineering...
Successful repair of severely injured peripheral nerves requires physical guidance such as tubularization 1 and a neurotrophic environment such as the presence of neurotrophic factors...
Development of a Novel Method for the Strengthening and Toughening of Irradiation-Sterilized Bone Allografts used in Orthopaedic Reconstructions
comments
Over 900,000 bone-grafting procedures are performed each year in the USA 1 . Human bone allografts are used in the orthopaedic reconstruction of skeletal defects resulting from traumatic injuries, diseases and revision arthroplasty however, bone allografts have insufficient mechanical properties 2 and graft fracture is a documented clinical failure mode 3 ...
Cell encapsulation demonstrates a very high potential for future tissue engineering applications, since Chang proposed the concept of artificial microencapsulation in 1964 1 ...
