Novel tissue scaffold uses ‘shape memory’ technique to promote tissue regeneration
Researchers from the University of Birmingham (UK) have developed a novel 3D-printed tissue scaffold that possesses ‘shape memory’ – allowing it to conform to irregular spaces and fill soft tissue voids that may occur after trauma or surgery.
New cell therapy approach shows promise for long-term treatment of Type 1 diabetes mellitus
A team from the University of Tokyo (Japan) has developed a novel graft method for the delivery of pancreatic beta cells via cell therapy. The graft was tested in mice.
Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells utilized to treat cartilage defects in Phase IIa trial
In this research article, human adipose-derived mesenchymal progenitor cells were investigated both for safety and efficacy in treating cartilage defects in 30 patients.
New regeneration method to repair severely damaged lungs
New research has described a model capable of regenerating severely damaged lungs to meet criteria for transplantation. This development has the potential to increase the number of lungs available for transplant.
New liver cell may cure liver disease without transplants
Novel research, employing single-cell RNA sequencing, has characterized a new liver cell population that may be capable of liver tissue regeneration.
Jellyfish collagen-based cell culture reduces contamination risk and inconsistency
A novel jellyfish-based hydrogel could enable contaminant-free cell culture with higher consistency and biocompatibility, and lower risk of off-target effects.
