Self-Oxygen Generating Biomaterials for Large Tissue Engineering
Brief Description
Organ transplantation continues to increase, with 34,770 transplants performed in the US in 2017. Currently, organ transplantation is limited by donor dependence, high costs, and, long-term use of immunosuppressive medications which, in turn, correlates with significant morbidity and mortality. To overcome these limitations, tissue...

A novel sealant device that aids in stem cell localization
in the treatment of lower back pain
Description
One 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...

Novel Biocompatible Electrolytes for Implantable Flexible Electronics
Description
Although battery technology was developed over one hundred years ago, the search for new materials with better performance, higher energy density, and extended regeneration cycles continues. One avenue of research is the search for new electrolytes as current liquid electrolytes are considered hazardous as they may leak, produce gases upon...

Self-Assembling Biomimetic Hydrogels Having Bioadhesive Properties
Brief Description
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...

Use of Silver-containing Layers in and on Implant Surfaces
Background
Medical devices implanted in the human body can react with internal biofluids and cause infection or compromise the health of surrounding bone and/or tissue. Treating infections with antibiotics is not always desired because it can be difficult to direct the antibiotic to the specifically needed location, treatment can take between 3 to...
