(2013-09-28)Polyurethane shape memory polymer (SMP) foams have been shown to be biocompatible within porcine models and show potential to treat intracranial saccular aneurysms in patients, and use in other medical applications. After ...
-
(2017-12-05)The limited availability of autografts has driven tissue engineers to fabricate synthetic grafts that temporarily replace tissue function and direct tissue regeneration. To achieve functional repair, these grafts need to ...
-
(2020-04-13)Hydrogels, water-imbibing crosslinked polymer networks, are useful for 3D cell culture because of their tissue-like mechanical properties and high water content. A variety of “click chemistry” reactions have been utilized ...
-
(2013-07-11)Analogous to the extracellular matrix (ECM) of natural tissues, properties of a tissue engineering scaffold direct cell behavior and thus regenerated tissue properties. These include both physical properties (e.g. morphology ...
