For clogged and hardened hearts, a mussel is the solution
Researchers developed a stem cell therapy on myocardial infarction, using proteins that can be found in mussels, mussel adhesive proteins
Keratin scaffolds for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering
Study using keratin from rat fur holds promise. Researchers have developed a simple method for preparing 3D keratin scaffold models which can be used to study the regeneration of tissue
A ‘cardiac patch with bioink’ developed to repair heart
A joint research team developed an ‘in vivo priming’ with heart-derived bioink. Using engineered stem cells and 3D bioprinting technology, they began developing medicines for cardiovascular diseases
Nanofibers split up in the body to deliver drugs
Biocompatible drug-carrying nanofiber that splits into tiny nanoparticles once inside the body could offer a new strategy for anticancer therapy
Stem cells and nerves interact in tissue regeneration and cancer progression
Researchers show that different stem cell populations are innervated in distinct ways. Innervation may therefore be crucial for proper tissue regeneration. They also demonstrate that cancer stem cells likewise establish contacts with nerves. Targeting tumor innervation could thus lead to new cancer therapies
Scientists invent nanoparticle that could improve treatment for bone defects
In test with mice, the sterosome activated bone regeneration was activated without needing additional drugs
Modeling the human eye in a dish
Researchers develop a novel human stem cell model to study eye development, biology and disease in a dish
Ultra-precision nano-sensor could detect iron disorders
Test could lead to earlier, more accurate disease diagnosis
