Researchers have developed a novel bioink that uses a sustained-release hormone to promote the growth and regeneration of 3D-printed muscle tissues. Their approach opens the door to developing new ...

Researchers have made significant strides in biomaterial technology and rehabilitation medicine. They've developed a novel approach to healing muscle injury by employing 'injectable tissue prosthesis' ...

The most autofluorescent human muscle reserve cells are those that strongly express the transcription factor Pax7, an indicator of a state of deep quiescence. It is precisely these most "dormant" ...

Cell sheets are guided to form anchored, scaffold-free constructs for in vitro modeling by providing pillars that act as anchors for otherwise anchorless cell sheets. Credit: Advanced Functional ...

A treatment that blocks an age-related protein restored cartilage in aging and injured joints by reprogramming existing cells ...

This new hydrogel system (IT-IC) can protect the gel from destruction by external forces. In conventional covalently crosslinked hydrogels (e.g., methacrylated hyaluronic acid, referred to as MeHA), ...

The treatment also prevented the development of arthritis after knee injuries such as ACL tears often experienced by athletes ...

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as biological messengers, telling skin cells and tissues how to repair, ...
