Columbus-based RenovoDerm LLC has received FDA medical device clearance for its Phoenix Wound Matrix, a micro-engineered plastic matrix that, when covering a wound, creates a scaffold for skin cells ...

Researchers have developed new wound dressings that dramatically accelerate healing and improve tissue regeneration. The two different types of nanofiber dressings, described in separate papers, use ...

A joint research team develops robust and stretchable extracellular matrix (ECM) membrane reinforced by nanofiber scaffolds. Animal models are widely used for evaluating a drug in its development ...

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 ...

One of the human body’s most amazing qualities is its ability to regenerate itself. Everything from paper cuts to broken bones can be healed through time, but there are limits. Once damage gets too ...

DNA-wrapped carbon nanotubes consolidate into a uniquely soft, tough porous network with salt-adjustable mechanical properties. Repairing or replacing damaged organs requires biocompatible materials ...

Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from engineering, biology, and materials science to develop biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve tissue ...

3D: three-dimensional; GelMA: methacryloyl gelatin; ECM: extracellular matrix; HA: hyaluronic acid; β-CD: β-cyclodextrin; PEDOT: poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene ...

Researchers have created a “nanofiber yarn” that they say could help repair damaged muscles and tendons, while also allowing a patient to retain use of the injured area. “When you repair muscle or ...

Nanomedicine. 2013;8(9):1459-1481. It is known that the control of cell–material interactions is critical for tissue regeneration. Therefore, many materials have been developed for regulating cell ...
