SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF.—Compared with permanent polymers and scaffolds, biodegradable polymers and fully erodible stents have the potential to be of greater benefit to patients, given that they result ...

Researchers at UNSW Canberra are exploring whether 3D printing can help close that gap. Their work focuses on biodegradable ...

The field of polymer science has seen a transformative evolution with the development of self-healing biodegradable materials ...

SAN DIEGO, CA—After years of excitement over the prospect of erodible scaffolds and disappearing polymers, enthusiasm among clinicians for the technologies appears to be, well, dissolving. Leaders in ...

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-su] Domestic researchers have developed a 'biodegradable polymer scaffold' that effectively aids bone tissue regeneration without side effects such as inflammation. It ...

Chow's lab creates biomaterial scaffolds made of biodegradable polymers, which are long chains of molecules that can degrade over time in the body. Scaffolds are widely-used in tissue engineering to ...

For tissue engineering, traditional techniques have involved, for example, culturing biodegradable polymer scaffolds with cells in biochambers filled with liquid nutrients that keep the cells alive.

Could you give us a little background to your work? Cartilage tissue engineering involves fabricating 3D constructs that mimic the biological and mechanical properties of human articular cartilage.

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have created a technique to assist surgeons in reconstructing more natural-looking nipples for patients who have had breast reconstruction after mastectomy to ...
