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...

Nonadditive effects of mixed crowding on protein stability.

29 Sep 2009 The crowded environments inside cells can have significant effects on the folding stability and other biophysical properties of proteins. In this study on how macromolecular crowding affects protein folding, we took a significant step toward ... Read more...

Matrix therapy in regenerative medicine, a new approach to chronic wound healing.

30 Aug 2009 Nonhealing wounds remain a major health problem whose treatment is challenging and costly. Treatments based on cells or growth factors are still not very effective. We developed an entirely novel strategy consisting in treatment of the wound-tissue ... Read more...
