Gold, Karli Ayn (2020-02-26)Vascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis and thrombosis, are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite major advancements to develop therapeutic interventions, the pathophysiology as it applies to ...
-
Beltran, Felipe Orlando (2021-12-08)Thermoresponsive shape memory polymer (SMP) scaffolds afford conformal “self-fitting” into irregularly shaped craniomaxillofacial (CMF) bone defects. Grunlan and co-workers previously reported SMP scaffolds based on ...
-
Rivera Tarazona, Laura Katherine (2022-04-18)Engineered living materials (ELMs) that integrate living cells and synthetic materials have been created with stimuli-responsive capabilities. ELMs can harness the biological functions of cells and detect subtle changes ...
-
Carrow, James Kenning (2018-08-03)Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials are an emerging class of biomaterials that have garnered unprecedented attention due to their unique atomically thin, layered, and well-defined structure. These nanomaterials, however, ...
-
Jang, Lindy Kang (2021-01-28)Shape memory polyurethane (SMP) foams have multiple adequate features to be utilized as a hemostatic device or an embolic device such as their unique shape recovery property, excellent biocompatibility, and rapid hemostatic ...
-
Mondragon, Eli (2020-07-13)Engineered bone graft designs have been largely inspired by adult bone despite significant deviation from the composition of anabolic bone. Highly osteogenic extracellular matrix (ECM) secreted by human mesenchymal stem ...
-
Peak, Charles W (2018-04-27)Direct-write extrusion bioprinting, a form of additive manufacturing, is a useful technique to recapitulate anatomical complexity for tissue engineering applications. However, bioprinting has hit a bottleneck in progress ...
-
Jalili, Nima A (2016-06-02)“Smart” hydrogels are an emerging class of biomaterials that respond to multiple external stimuli and investigated for a range of biomedical applications, including therapeutic delivery, and regenerative engineering. ...
-
Jivan, Faraz (2019-11-21)Click chemistry reactions have become an important synthetic tool for fabrication of user-defined hydrogels consisting of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and bioactive peptides/proteins for tissue engineering. In this work, ...
-
Frassica, Michael T. (2020-11-13)A synthetic materials-guided approach, wherein the scaffold’s chemical and physical properties alone instruct cellular behavior for tissue regeneration, has the potential to repair clinically pervasive osteochondral defects ...
-
Means, Anna Kristen (2019-04-01)Hydrogels, crosslinked hydrophilic polymer networks, are widely used as biomaterials because of their similarity to soft biological tissues; however, their poor mechanical properties greatly limit their utility. This work ...
