The insertion of implants and medical devices has emerged as a common and often life-
saving procedure. A current estimate of the rate of total hip replacement in the world is …

The better understanding of cell biology and cell communication requires novel culture
systems that better represent the natural cell environment in tissues and organs. We …

The brain's extracellular matrix (ECM), a 3‐dimensional macromolecular network that
supports cell growth and viability, has crucial roles in homeostasis and disease. Accurate …

Tissue engineering is the science of design and manufacture of new tissues to replace
impaired or damaged ones. The key ingredients for tissue engineering are stem cells, the …

BACKGROUND: Deficiencies remain in the ability of in vitro-matured human oocytes to
acquire full developmental competence and give rise to a healthy pregnancy. A clear …

We have incorporated daunomycin, an antineoplastic agent, into a biodegradable hydrogel
through a labile covalent bond. In brief, sodium alginate was chemically broken down to low …

There is a tremendous need for organs and tissues to replace those lost due to diseases or
trauma. In theory, transplanting cells on biomaterial matrices can create functional tissue. A …

Extracellular matrix (ECM) plays important roles in tissue engineering because cellular
growth and differentiation, in the two-dimensional cell culture as well as in the three …
