The complex interaction of cells with biomaterials (ie, materiobiology) plays an increasingly
pivotal role in the development of novel implants, biomedical devices, and tissue …

Many existing clinical treatments are limited in their ability to completely restore decreased
or lost tissue and organ function, an unenviable situation only further exacerbated by a …

It is recorded that Théophile-Jules Pelouze first synthesized poly (lactic acid)(PLA) by
polycondensation of lactic acid in 1845. 1 In 1932, Wallace Hume Carothers et al …

Poly (lactic acid)(PLA) was toughed by blending hydrogenated styrene-butadiene-styrene
block copolymer (SEBS) with the aid of reactive compatibilizer, poly (ethylene-co-glycidyl …

This feature article describes the progress realized over the past half century in the field of
surface-bound gradient structures created on or from soft materials (oligomers and/or …

In order to accelerate tissue-engineering research, a combinatorial approach for
investigating the effect of surface energy on cell response has been developed. Surface …

From embryonic development to wound repair, concentration gradients of bioactive
signaling molecules guide tissue formation and regeneration. Moreover, gradients in cellular …

Tissue engineering aims at restoring or regenerating a damaged tissue by combining cells,
derived from a patient biopsy, with a 3D porous matrix functioning as a scaffold. After …

Significant effort has been devoted to fabricating various biomaterials to satisfy specific
clinical requirements. In this study, we developed a new type of guided tissue regeneration …

Due to its biodegradable and bioabsorbable characteristics polylactic acid (PLA) has
attracted considerable attention for numerous biomedical applications. Moreover, a number …
