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 ...

Researchers have developed a new class of ultra-thin, flexible bioelectronic material that can seamlessly interface with ...

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 ...

Implanted medical devices often stimulate the body’s immune system to isolate the foreign material and build up a wall of scar tissue around the devices, which can ultimately prevent them from ...

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

Regenerative medicine combines tissue engineering and cell therapies to repair or replace damaged human tissues and organs. Key applications include treating osteoarthritis with mesenchymal stem cells ...

Peripheral nerves—the network connecting the brain, spinal cord, and central nervous system to the rest of the body—transmit ...

MELBOURNE, Dec. 3 (Xinhua) -- Scientists in Australia have discovered how tiny electrical pulses can steer stem cells as they grow, paving the way for improved lab-grown tissues, organs, nerves and ...
