Growth factors play a crucial role in tissue engineering by directing the fate of cells and
allowing the formation of tissues. Understanding the key requirements for growth factor …

Tissue engineering is currently limited by the inability to adequately vascularize tissues in
vitro or in vivo. Issues of nutrient perfusion and mass transport limitations, especially oxygen …

Injuries to the peripheral nervous system (PNS) cause neuropathies that lead to weakness
and paralysis, poor or absent sensation, unpleasant and painful neuropathies, and impaired …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are capable of self-renewal and differentiation along the
osteogenic, chondrogenic, and adipogenic lineages and have potential applications in a …

This paper covers the main medical applications of artificial membranes. Specific attention is
given to drug delivery systems, artificial organs and tissue engineering which seem to …

In a developing organism, tissues emerge from coordinated sequences of cell renewal,
differentiation, and assembly that are orchestrated by spatial and temporal gradients of …

The ability to engineer anatomically correct pieces of viable and functional human bone
would have tremendous potential for bone reconstructions after congenital defects, cancer …

This will be a substantial revision of a good selling text for upper division/first graduate
courses in biomedical transport phenomena, offered in many departments of biomedical and …

A bone tissue engineering strategy involving the in vitro expansion of cells on a scaffold
before implantation into the body represents a promising alternative to current clinical …

Small pore sizes inherent to electrospun matrices can hinder efficient cellular ingrowth. To
facilitate infiltration while retaining its extracellular matrix-like character, electrospinning was …
