A team of Harvard University have developed a cyborg tissue material that is a literal mesh of nanoscale electronics and cells, able to support cell growth while at the same time monitoring biological ...

Canadian researchers have, for the first time, developed an organic substance that attracts and supports cells necessary for tissue repair and can be directly injected into problem areas. This ...

Using a nanoparticle core, medical researchers have fashioned a new type of tissue and bone scaffolding polymer that addresses a number of long-standing limitations. A new article describes the ...

New treatments are being developed that heal broken hearts or muscle loss by prompting the the body to repair damaged tissues. HT Image Canadian researchers, for the first time, have developed an ...

Cardiovascular disease, which accounts for about 30% of global causes of death, can lead to severe complications such as angina, myocardial infarction, and stroke. Medical devices that expand blood ...

Smart scaffolding that can guide cells, proteins and small-molecule drugs to make new tissue and repair damage inside the body is in the works at Rice University. Scientists at Rice and the Texas A&M ...

Imagine new treatments for heart disease or muscle loss that direct the body to repair damaged tissue rather than helping it cope with a weakened condition. That's not hard to do thanks to Canadian ...

Bioengineers use scaffolds to mimic the body’s extracellular matrix, which supports the growth and maintenance of living cells. Synthetic scaffolds are used as frameworks to form replacement tissues ...
