Bioactive glasses have been traditionally used in the clinical practice to fill and restore
osseous defects due to their unique ability to bond to host bone and stimulate new bone …

Research on biomaterials has been growing in the last few years due to the clinical needs in
organs and tissues replacement and regeneration. In addition, cancer nanomedicine has …

Polymers such as Dacron® and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) have been used in high flow
states with relative success but with limited application at lower flow states. Newer polymers …

The construction of tissue-engineered devices for medical applications is now possible in
vitro using cell culture and bioreactors. Although methods of incorporating them back into …

Previous studies have demonstrated the benefits of cell seeding in the construction of tissue-
engineered vascular grafts (TEVG). However, seeding methods are diverse and no method …

This review details the use of polymeric biomaterials used in implantable cardiovascular
devices. Specifically, the role of the polymer in two major types of device, the vascular graft …

Biodegradable segmented polyurethanes (BSPUs) were prepared with poly (caprolactone)
as a soft segment, 4, 4′-methylene bis (cyclohexyl isocyanate) and either butanediol …

Critical-size skull defects caused by trauma, infection, and tumor resection raise great
demands for efficient bone substitutes. Herein, a hybrid cross-linked hierarchical …

Thrombosis and intimal hyperplasia are the principal causes of small‐diameter vascular
graft failure. To improve the long‐term patency of polyurethane vascular grafts, we have …

Bone marrow stromal cells (MSCs) are a promising cell source for a variety of tissue
engineering applications, given their ready availability and ability to differentiate into …
