Tissue engineered nerve grafts (TENGs) have emerged as a potential alternative to
autologous nerve grafts, the gold standard for peripheral nerve repair. Typically, TENGs are …

Epithelial organoids are simplified models of organs grown in vitro from embryonic and adult
stem cells. They are widely used to study organ development and disease, and enable drug …

The conjugation of biomolecules can impart materials with the bioactivity necessary to
modulate specific cell behaviors. While the biological roles of particular polypeptide …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) in vitro neural tissue models provide a better recapitulation
of in vivo cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions than conventional two …

Despite many years of in vitro research confirming the effectiveness of RGD in promoting
cell attachment to a wide variety of biomaterials, animal studies evaluating tissue responses …

The field of regenerative medicine aims to replace tissues lost as a consequence of disease,
trauma or congenital abnormalities. Biomaterials serve as scaffolds for regenerative …

The molecular and physical information coded within the extracellular milieu is informing the
development of a new generation of biomaterials for tissue engineering. Several powerful …

State-of-the-art bioactive hydrogels can easily and efficiently be formed by enzyme-
catalyzed mild-crosslinking reactions in situ. Yet this cell-friendly and substrate-specific …
