TL;DR: A brief overview of concepts of bacterial biofilm formation, current state-of-the-art therapeutic approaches for preventing and treating biofilms, and the prevalence of such infections on medical devices is reviewed.

TL;DR: Recent exciting developments in click hydrogels, microgels and nanogels, as well as their biomedical applications such as controlled protein and drug release, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine are presented and discussed.

TL;DR: Cell-free implants, comprising carbodiimide crosslinked recombinant human collagen (RHC) can achieve stable regeneration and therefore, represent a potentially safe alternative to donor organ transplantation.

TL;DR: An implantable matrix is reported that performs as a physiologically functional tissue substitute and not simply as a prosthetic device, which should have applicability to many areas of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, especially where nerve function is required.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates a novel approach for the expansion and delivery of blood CD133+ cells with resultant improvement of their implantation and vasculogenic capacity and significantly improved the restoration of a vascular network.
