Tissue responses to novel tissue engineering biodegradable cryogel scaffolds: an animal model.

29 Sep 2009 Biodegradable macroporous cryogels with highly open and interconnected pore structures were produced from dextran modified with oligo L-lactide bearing hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) end groups in moderately frozen solutions. Tissue responses to ... Read more...

Accelerated osteogenic orthodontics technique: a 1-stage surgically facilitated rapid orthodontic technique with alveolar augmentation.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: Demineralization of a thin layer of bone over a root prominence after corticotomy surgery can optimize the response to applied orthodontic forces. This physiologic response is consistent with the regional acceleratory phenomenon process. ... Read more...

Newly developed tissue-engineered material for reconstruction of vascular wall without cell seeding.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: We have developed a tissue-engineered patch for cardiovascular repair. Tissue-engineered patches facilitated site-specific in situ recellularization and required no pretreatment with cell seeding. This study evaluated the patches ... Read more...
