A novel sealant device that aids in stem cell localization in the treatment of lower back pain
TechnologyOne of the major causes of lower back pain is intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration also known as lumbar degenerative disc disease which often leads to disk herniation. IVD results from the dehydration of the central nucleus pulposus (NP) which ultimately alters the biomechanics of the disc and eventually causes tears to form in the peripheral...

A novel composition for bioadhesive tissue engineering
Technology Tissue engineering focuses on repairing or regenerating lost or damaged tissues and organs in the body. A goal of tissue engineering is to design biomimetic scaffolds that reproduce the mechanical and biochemical properties of natural tissue. These scaffolds should have desirable biological properties such that after implantation or application...
