TL;DR: The results of this study indicated that human umbilical arteries could serve as an alternative material for the proper development of small diameter vascular grafts.

TL;DR: In this paper, the methods of biofabricated scaffolds via 3D printing and bioprinting, the biomaterials and bioinks recruited to create biomimicked tissues of cardiac valves and vascular networks have also been included.

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of nanotubes as reinforcing agents in developing nanocomposites with synthetic and natural biodegradable polymers is reviewed and the extent of mechanical reinforcement of the polymers and the corresponding biological response of the nanocom composites are presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of cell biomechanics plays a major role as a promising biomarker for early cancer diagnosis and prognosis, and alterations in modulus of elasticity, cell membrane roughness and migratory potential of MCF-7 (ER+) and SKBR-3 (HER2+) cancer cells were elucidated prior to and post treatment with conditioned medium from human umbilical mesenchymal stem cells (hUMSCs-CM) during static and dynamic cell culture.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the properties of a starch-epoxy hybrid matrix composite with four different glass inclusions such as 3 mm long chopped strands, 0.2 mm long short glass fibers, glass beads and glass bubbles at different concentrations.
