Heart muscle engineering: An update on cardiac muscle replacement therapy
Wolfram-Hubertus Zimmermann,Michael Didié,Stephan Döker,Ivan Melnychenko,Hiroshi Naito,Christina Rogge,Malte Tiburcy,Thomas Eschenhagen +7 more
TL;DR: An update on the state of cardiac muscle engineering and its utilization in cardiac regeneration is provided and the application of stem cells including the allocation of autologous cell material, transgenic technologies that may improve tissue structure as well as in vivo engraftment, and vascularization concepts are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward Strong and Tough Glass and Ceramic Scaffolds for Bone Repair
TL;DR: Inspired by the designs of natural materials such as cortical bone and nacre, glass‐ceramic and inorganic/polymer composite scaffolds created with extrinsic toughening mechanisms are showing potential for both high strength and mechanical reliability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supercritical fluids processing of polymers for pharmaceutical and medical applications
TL;DR: A critical analysis of the supercritical fluids based technologies that have been proposed in polymer processing for pharmaceutical and medical applications is presented in this article, where the formation of polymer-drug microparticles and microspheres, the production of simple or loaded membranes and formation of temporary scaffolds are reviewed and the future trends in these areas are analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies on nerve cell affinity of chitosan-derived materials.
TL;DR: It is found that both CAP and CPL have excellent nerve cell affinity, defined as the ability to promote nerve cell to grow and function normally, and those two materials may be promising for the repair of the nervous system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supercritical Fluid Technology: An Emphasis on Drug Delivery and Related Biomedical Applications.
TL;DR: Recent advances in drug delivery systems manufactured using the SCF technology are reviewed and an emphasis and discussion of recent reports using supercritical carbon dioxide (SC‐CO2) for fabrication of polymeric carriers for applications in areas related to drug delivery, tissue engineering, bio‐imaging, and other biomedical applications are provided.
