Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have shown significant potential for repairing and regenerating damaged tissues and can be used to provide personalized treatment plans, with broad ...

Cardiovascular Reparative Medicine and Tissue Engineering (CRMTE) aims to develop future technologies and therapeutic strategies that will serve as treatment for cardiovascular disease. CRMTE includes ...

The Suspended Tissue Open Microfluidic Patterning, or STOMP device, is small enough to fit on a fingertip, and is expected to advance human tissue modeling for research on a variety of complex ...

Researchers have developed a new class of ultra-thin, flexible bioelectronic material that can seamlessly interface with ...

Over time, scar tissue slows or stops implanted bioelectronics. But new interdisciplinary research could help pacemakers, sensors and other implantable devices keep people healthier for longer. The ...

A team of researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have designed a ground-breaking material that is designed to prevent the buildup of scar tissue around implantable devices. The ...

Implanted medical devices often stimulate the body’s immune system to isolate the foreign material and build up a wall of scar tissue around the devices, which can ultimately prevent them from ...

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 ...

Ingestible devices are often used to study and treat hard-to-reach tissues in the body. Swallowed in pill form, these ...

If bladder nerves are damaged from surgery or from a disease, then a patient often loses sensation and is unaware that their bladder is full. Should you run to the bathroom now? Or can you hold it ...

Peripheral nerves—the network connecting the brain, spinal cord, and central nervous system to the rest of the body—transmit sensory information, control muscle movements, and regulate automatic ...
