Bioprinting is a promising technology to fabricate design-specific tissue constructs due to its
ability to create complex, heterocellular structures with anatomical precision. Bioprinting …

Restoration of insulin independence and normoglycemia has been the overarching goal in
diabetes research and therapy. While whole-organ and islet transplantation have become …

The wound healing process that occurs after spinal cord injury is critical for maintaining
tissue homeostasis and limiting tissue damage, but eventually results in a scar-like …

The neural crest (NC) is a transient, multipotent and migratory cell population that generates
