Title : Electroactive polymer-based smart scaffolds for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine
Federico Carpi, University of Florence, Italy
Cellular scaffolds are a critical component of any system for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. So far, poor attention has been focused on scaffolds that can mimic the extracellular matrix not only statically, but also dynamically, especially for tissues that have to [....] » Read More
Title : Side effect free cancer chemotherapy by directed gene delivery using nanomaterials
A C Matin, Stanford University School of Medicine, United States
Side effect-free cancer chemotherapy is an urgent need, which can be met by prodrug therapies (GDEPTs). Prodrugs are harmless but bacterial/viral gene products can convert them into potent drugs that can be confined to tumors by ensuring delivery of the activating gene exclusivel [....] » Read More
Title : Artificial intelligence (AI) in biomedical engineering

Title : Cellular and molecular profiling of critical bone fractures in axolotl
Polikarpova Anastasia, The Institute of Molecular Pathology, Austria
To investigate if SCT cells are able to migrate and contribute to cartilage in CSD, we transplanted tissues with fluorescently labelled CT cells to the wildtype host prior to fracture surgery. The labelled CT cells are migrating to the CSD gap, and some are expressing cartilage p [....] » Read More
Title : Tumor cell microspheroids induced by non-contact mechanical forces
Itziar Gonzalez, The Spanish National Research Council, Spain
We present a novel device actuated by ultrasound to induce rapid formation of cellular spheroids in very short times of less than 5 minutes, an order of magnitude less than those of conventional systems, which usually require more than 24h. It consists of a 2D polymeric array wit [....] » Read More

Sergey Suchkov, The Russian University of Medicine, Russian Federation
A principally new and upgraded systems approach to subclinical and/or diseased states and wellness resulted in a new trend in the healthcare services, is called as Personalized and Precision Medicine (PPM). But despite breakthroughs in translational research that have led to an i [....] » Read More
Title : The promising future of the unique translational tool to manage cardiac self renewal and regeneration to secure the post infarction period
Sergey Suchkov, The Russian University of Medicine, Russian Federation
The approaches securing cardiac regeneration in post-infarction period are not available to be practiced. The key problem is the identity of cells be born to generate functionally active cardiac myocytes replenishing those being lost during ischemia. With identification of reside [....] » Read More
Title : Cross talk between H2S and interacting signaling molecule NO under nitroxidative stress response in bacteria
Svetlana Vasilieva, Institute of Biochemical Physics Russian Academy of Sciences, Russian Federation
For many years nitric oxide NO, hydrogen sulfide H2S and carbon monoxide CO have been considered toxic gases which at low concentrations present in the atmosphere. Then all these gases have been discovered to be produced endogenously to regulate numerous key physiological functio [....] » Read More
Title : Regeneration of the eye via ultrathin PDLLA-based nanofibrous membranes
Hana Studenovska, Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry, Czech Republic
Eye related diseases can cover diseases of the front segment of the eye as e.g. limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) but also diseases related to the back segment, the retina, as e.g age-related macular degeneration (AMD). In both cases one of the ways to treat the impaired part of [....] » Read More
Title : Human adipose stem cells promote the formation of capillary networks in pre-vascularized skin model
Yu Chieh Wu, Institute of Physiology, CAS, Czech Republic
Animal models have been used for decades in various physiological, pathophysiological, pharmaceutical, toxicological and other biomedical studies. However, significant obstacles of these models are ethical issues, considerable costs, and limited translatability of study outcomes [....] » Read More
Title : Durable immunomodulatory hierarchical patch for rotator cuff repairing
Liren Wang, Shanghai Jiaotong University, China
High re-tear rates exceeding 50% in degradable shoulder cuff patches, observed over a five-year follow-up, are attributed to the failure of degradable polymers alone to restore the inflammatory niche post-rotator cuff injury, hindering tendon-bone interface healing. Theoretically [....] » Read More
Title : Macrofluidic single use bioreactors
Gilad Gome, Hebrew University Faculty of Agriculture, Israel
One of the main challenges of cultured meat is reducing costs of production, often described as scaling. The main components of the operation are cells, media, scaffolds and bioreactors. This work presents an alternative to current stainless steel or glass bioreactors and uses pl [....] » Read More
Title : Generating scaffolds with antimicrobial properties for tissue regeneration using low temperature plasma (LTP)
