A team of biomedical researchers led by Michael Mak, Ph.D., in the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University, has developed a new method of bioprinting physiological materials. Called ...

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 ...

This review innovatively proposes the use of electrospinning to fabricate electroactive fibrous scaffolds, which mimic the structure of the extracellular matrix while providing electrical activity, ...

Vascular stents, which consist of a metal structure and a polymer covering, play a critical therapeutic role in cardiovascular treatment. The polymer acts as a physical barrier between blood and the ...

Eggshells, which are primarily composed of a form of calcium called calcium carbonate, are used in a wide range of applications – from a supplement in chicken feed to natural pest control for the ...

Hydrogels are often used as scaffolds in tissue engineering. Living cells infused into the material can, theoretically, grow through the gel until an entire piece of tissue forms. But to grow well, ...

(Nanowerk News) Rice University researchers have revealed novel sequence-structure-property relationships for customizing engineered living materials (ELMs), enabling more precise control over their ...

Study demonstrates superior biocompatibility and mechanical performance of the Plielle™ urethral support system. For ...

Lung diseases kill millions of people around the world each year. Treatment options are limited, and animal models for studying these illnesses and experimental medications are inadequate. Now, ...
