Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have shown significant potential for repairing and regenerating damaged tissues and can be used to provide personalized treatment plans, with broad ...

Tissue engineering is a burgeoning academic field, however, the clinical and therapeutic promise of tissue and organ replacement has remained largely unrealized. With the possible exceptions of skin, ...

The development of artificial grafts that may recapitulate the tissue microarchitecture is one of the most ambitious and complex approaches to understanding molecular mechanisms in an in vitro ...

Nanoscale structure-property relationships of biological materials, genetic and molecular origins of soft joint tissue diseases, biomaterials under extreme conditions, coupling between ...

Within our bodies, cells survive by being chatty: They rely on a network of blood vessels to communicate with one another and receive vital nutrients. Replicating this cell crosstalk in a lab is less ...

Tissue engineering utilizes 3D printing and bioink to grow human cells on scaffolds, creating replacements for damaged tissues like skin, cartilage, and even organs. A team of researchers led by ...

Traditional-tissue engineering approaches (Panel A) seed cells onto a three-dimensional biomaterial scaffold that serves as a framework for new tissue development (i). The scaffold degrades as new ...

Humanoid robots can encourage human tendon cells to grow by stretching them in the same way people do when moving. A robotic shoulder that stretches, presses, and twists lab-grown human tendon tissue ...
