To facilitate nerve regrowth, tissue engineers employ biodegradable polymer scaffolds. Shown at left, a micrograph of an actual scaffold used to stimulate spinal cord regeneration in rats. Center, a ...

The study shows that fat tissue, when processed and cultured in a specific way, can self-organize into structures resembling bone marrow, pancreatic islets, and even neural tissue. These organoids ...

This review innovatively proposes the use of electrospinning to fabricate electroactive fibrous scaffolds, which mimic the structure of the extracellular matrix while providing electrical activity, ...

What are Tissue Engineering Scaffolds? Tissue engineering scaffolds are three-dimensional structures designed to support cell growth, migration, and differentiation for the regeneration of damaged or ...

Carnegie Mellon engineering researchers have designed the first microfabricated stainless steel neural probe that allows for safer, more accurate brain sensing.

3D: three-dimensional; GelMA: methacryloyl gelatin; ECM: extracellular matrix; HA: hyaluronic acid; β-CD: β-cyclodextrin; PEDOT: poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene ...

A startup based on research conducted at Penn State is developing a soft, minimally invasive neural implant intended to ...

Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from engineering, biology, and materials science to develop biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve tissue ...
