Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have shown significant potential for repairing and regenerating damaged tissues and can be used to provide personalized treatment plans, with broad ...

A team of researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have designed a ground-breaking material that is designed to prevent the buildup of scar tissue around implantable devices. The ...

Over time, scar tissue slows or stops implanted bioelectronics. But new interdisciplinary research could help pacemakers, sensors and other implantable devices keep people healthier for longer. The ...

Flow chart illustrating the mechanism of action of the tapeworm-inspired tissue anchoring mechanism. Upon contact with a tissue surface (in this case, the intestinal lining), the small protruding ...

Research in animal models has demonstrated that stem-cell derived heart tissues have promising potential for therapeutic applications to treat cardiac disease. But before such therapies are viable and ...

Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from engineering, biology, and materials science to develop biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve tissue ...

Ingestible devices are often used to study and treat hard-to-reach tissues in the body. Swallowed in pill form, these ...
