Researchers have used sound waves to turn stem cells into bone cells, in a tissue engineering advance that could one day help patients regrow bone lost to cancer or degenerative disease. The ...
Three-dimensional (3D) printing has gained traction in recent years and is now used across a wide range of industries for the quick and easy fabrication of complex materials. 3D printing is now set to ...
In science fiction stories that depict technologically advanced societies, just about any injury can be healed. Bones grow back and wounds close, leaving little trace of previous trauma. In the real ...
Damaged bones could be fixed with a new technique that involves 3D printing a tissue using living stem cells. For example, if a child had a jawbone defect, you could take an image of the defect, feed ...
The utilization of biodegradable biomaterials as a therapeutic modality for musculoskeletal tissue regeneration has emerged as a promising avenue for ...
IF a lover breaks your heart, tissue engineers can’t fix it. But if sticks and stones break your bones, scientists may be able to grow custom-size replacements. Gordana Vunjak-Novakovic, a professor ...
When people call Gordana Vunjak-Novakovic a tissue engineer, she corrects them. The professor of Biomedical Engineering at Columbia University says she’s not the one engineering tissue. “Only the cell ...
Natural sources, such as microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, fungi, yeast, and algae) and plant extracts, have acted as eco-friendly precursors for producing nanoparticles with several potential ...
