SCIENCE SIMPLIFIED
By Richard Z. Zhuang & Roberta Lock
Explore cutting edge science that we're excited about in the tissue engineering field and learn about some of the concepts that are central to what we do here at the Tissue Engineering Resource Center!
WHAT'S NEW IN TISSUE ENGINEERING?
Biomanufacturing of Improved Tissue Engineered Muscle Recovery After Volumetric Muscle Loss
Article by Julie Leonard-Duke
Researchers aimed to improve engineered muscle tissue by introducing two key techniques: 1) using a bioprinter to precisely place muscle cells on a scaffold, and 2) using a fully enclosed bioreactor to support cell growth. These methods promoted muscle fiber growth as measured by fiber cross sectional area
Heart valve tissue engineering using a bioresorbable elastomeric implant
Article by Olivier Pont
Researchers developed a new type of heart valve replacement that is made of synthetic and bioresorbable materials, serving as a mold for the patient's own cells to grow into, creating a living valve that can naturally grow and adapt as the patient does.
