Piezoelectricity in native bones has been well recognized as the key factor in bone regeneration. However, the current additive-manufactured scaffolds mainly focus on the reconstruction of bionic ...

In recent years, there have been tremendous advances in tissue engineering, the field of biomaterials research and development that combines living cells with 3D microstructures and biologically ...

These fields aim to facilitate healing and restore lost function in damaged or diseased tissues and organs by integrating scaffolds, cells, and biological signaling molecules. This combination aims to ...

Bone and skeletal injuries cause extensive and long-term functional impairments worldwide. In a new study, researchers at ...

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, ...

A new study shows that engineered, cell-free cartilage can safely support bone regeneration without provoking immune rejection. New research suggests it may be possible to repair major bone damage ...

Recent years have witnessed extraordinary progress in tissue repair, driven primarily by innovations in biomaterial design and biofabrication. In ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The microscopic architecture of bone tissue - an intricate mineral framework smaller than a human hair - enables its unique ability to heal and bear weight. This structural ...

For centuries, civilizations have used naturally occurring, inorganic materials for their perceived healing properties. Egyptians thought green copper ore helped eye inflammation, the Chinese used ...

Materials engineering involves the development, production, modification, and application of engineering materials to meet the specific needs of society. It is based on an understanding of the ...
