Self-oxygen generating biomaterials for large tissue engineering
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 engineering and transplantation...

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...

Novel Biodegradable and Non-biodegradable 3D Printed Implants
TechnologyMusculoskeletal diseases are the second most common cause of disability with cost to the healthcare industry in upwards of $5 billion per year. Current implants designed to treat these diseases are plagued by various complications including infection, immune rejection, and inadequate osteointegration. New technologies are needed to overcome...

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...
