Seeing Through the Surface: Non-invasive Characterization of Biomaterial–Tissue Interactions Using Photoacoustic Microscopy
TL;DR: Recent progress in non-invasive and volumetric characterization of biomaterial–tissue interactions using PAM is highlighted and challenges ahead are discussed to envision future directions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silk 3D matrices incorporating human neural progenitor cells for neural tissue engineering applications
TL;DR: It is found that microstructure and porosity of the fabricated silk fibroin scaffolds allow for sustained viability and proliferation of human neural progenitors.
Journal ArticleDOI
APTES assisted surface heparinization of polylactide porous membranes for improved hemocompatibility
TL;DR: In this paper, a 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) conjugated heparin was first synthesized through the amidation reaction and then anchored onto PLA membrane via surface attachment, condensation, multilayer formation.

Photoacoustic Tomography: In Vivo Imaging from Organelles to Organs
Lihong V. Wang,Song Hu +1 more
TL;DR: A review of the state of the art of photoacoustic tomography for both biological and clinical studies can be found in this paper, where the authors discuss the current state-of-the-art and discuss future prospects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical coherence tomography for ultrahigh resolution in vivo imaging
TL;DR: Optical coherence tomography functions as a type of 'optical biopsy' to provide cross-sectional images of tissue structure on the micron scale and is a promising imaging technology because it can provide images of tissues in situ and in real time, without the need for excision and processing of specimens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correction: Corrigendum: Nature of hardness evolution in nanocrystalline NiTi shape memory alloys during solid-state phase transition
Abbas Amini,Chun Cheng +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the hardness of pseudoelastic NiTi shape memory alloys (SMAs) during the solid-state phase transition in NiTi SMAs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dual delivery of an angiogenic and an osteogenic growth factor for bone regeneration in a critical size defect model
TL;DR: The results indicate that delivery of both growth factors may enhance bone bridging and union of the critical size defect compared to delivery of BMP-2 alone and suggests an interplay between these growth factors for early bone regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of micro CT with other techniques used in the characterization of scaffolds.
TL;DR: Micro CT is a more recent method of examining the characteristics of scaffolds and this review aims to highlight this current approach while comparing it with other techniques.
