Skeletal muscle tissue engineering has been a key area of focus over the years and has been of interest for developing regenerative strategies for injured or degenerative skeletal muscle tissue. Stem cells have gained increased attention as sources for developing skeletal muscle tissue for subsequent studies or potential treatments. Focus has been placed on understanding the molecular pathways that...
Full thickness skin loss is a debilitating problem, most commonly reconstructed using split thickness skin grafts (STSG), which do not reconstitute normal skin thickness and often result in suboptimal functional and esthetic outcomes that diminish a patient's quality of life. To address the minimal dermis present in most STSG, engineered dermal templates were developed that can induce tissue ingrowth...
Biofilm formation on an implant surface is most commonly caused by the human pathogenic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, which can lead to implant related infections and failure. It is a major problem for both implantable orthopedic and maxillofacial devices. The current antibiotic treatments are typically delivered orally or in an injectable form. They are not highly effective in preventing or removing...
