The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex network with multiple functions, including
specific functions during tissue regeneration. Precisely, the properties of the ECM have been …

Tissue engineering is essentially a technique for imitating nature. Natural tissues are made
up of three parts: extracellular matrix (ECM), signaling systems, and cells. Therefore …

Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine involve many different artificial and biologic
materials, frequently integrated in composite scaffolds, which can be repopulated with …

There is a high demand for developing methods to produce more native-like 3D corneal
structures. In the present study, we produced 3D cornea-mimicking tissues using human …

Refractive surgery refers to any procedure that corrects or minimizes refractive errors. Today,
refractive surgery has evolved beyond the traditional laser refractive surgery, embodied by …

Biologic scaffold materials composed of allogeneic or xenogeneic extracellular matrix (ECM)
are commonly used for the repair and remodeling of injured tissue. The clinical outcomes …

Corneal blindness is one of the most common causes of vision loss worldwide, affecting
millions of people. To treat these patients, researchers have been examining different …

Corneal disease is considered as the second leading cause of vision loss and keratoplasty
is known as an effective treatment for it. However, the tissue engineered corneal substitutes …

Corneal transplantation remains gold standard for the treatment of severe cornea diseases,
however, scarcity of donor cornea is a serious bottleneck. 3D bioprinting holds tremendous …

In late 2019, a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) emerged in Wuhan, capital city of Hubei
province in China. Cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection quickly grew by several thousand per …
