To take advantage of the promise of 4D materials for bioengineering applications, Alsberg and colleagues developed novel 4D materials based on gelatin-like hydrogels that change shape over time in ...

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) engineers, working in collaboration with scientists at Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute, have developed a new way to grow pancreatic “organoids”—tiny ...

It is relatively easy to grow cells in the lab but turning them into realistic models of human tissue is harder. This requires creating an environment that closely mirrors the conditions in the body’s ...

In this study, we present a method for assembling biofunctionalized paper into a multiform structured scaffold system for reliable tissue regeneration using an ...

Scientists at the University of Washington (UW) say they developed a novel method to keep proteins intact and functional by modifying them at a specific point so that they can be chemically tethered ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) One of the primary goals in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is the development of artificial scaffolds that can serve as substitutes for damaged tissue. These ...

Cartilage tissue engineering based on biomimetic scaffolds has become a rapidly developing strategy for repairing cartilage defects. In this study, a biphasic CAN-PAC hydrogel for osteochondral defect ...

Researchers have developed a hydrogel composed of poly(N-acryloylglycinamide) (PNAGAm) grafted with arginine (R)–glycine (G)–aspartic acid (D)–serine (S) peptide whose elastic modulus can be changed ...

Nanotechnology is currently being utilized for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Nanostructures can mimic tissue-specific bio-environments by designing constructs with particular ...
