Scaffolds used in tissue engineering must meet a complex set of requirements. They must simulate the function of the compromised tissue, provide a favorable environment for the formation of new tissue ...

What are Tissue Engineering Scaffolds? Tissue engineering scaffolds are three-dimensional structures designed to support cell growth, migration, and differentiation for the regeneration of damaged or ...

Piezoelectricity in native bones has been well recognized as the key factor in bone regeneration. However, the current additive-manufactured scaffolds mainly focus on the reconstruction of bionic ...

“We see in our specialty patients who have ear deformities, called microtia, which can be reconstructed, but it's a technically challenging operation that I think very few people in the world do well, ...

News Release 24-Feb-2021 New shape-changing 4D materials hold promise for morphodynamic tissue engineering Shape-changing scaffold for tissue engineering Peer-Reviewed Publication University of ...

These fields aim to facilitate healing and restore lost function in damaged or diseased tissues and organs by integrating scaffolds, cells, and biological signaling molecules. This combination aims to ...

Organ failure impacts millions of patients each year and costs hundreds of billions of US Dollars. Over the last 30 years, scientists have utilized a combination of tools, methods, and molecules of ...

New research has demonstrated the viability of 3D-printed tissue scaffolds that harmlessly degrade while promoting tissue regeneration following implantation. Research published today has demonstrated ...

University of Connecticut bioengineers have used piezoelectric biodegradable nanofiber tissue scaffold technology to successfully regrow cartilage directly in a rabbit’s knee, an achievement that ...

Researchers have developed a technique to modify naturally occurring biological polymers with protein-based biochemical messages that affect cell behavior. Their approach uses a near-infrared laser to ...
