There are two accepted theories that describe the pathophysiology of fat grafting results. The
first is that once grafted, there is at least partial survival of the adipocytes to achieve a …

Wounds in the fetus can heal without scarring. Consequently, biomaterials that attempt to
recapitulate the biophysical and biochemical properties of fetal skin have emerged as …

Three-dimensional printing technologies exhibit tremendous potential in the advancing
fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine due to the precise spatial control …

Bulk hydrogel scaffolds are common in reconstructive surgery. They allow for the staged
repair of soft tissue loss by providing a base for revascularization. Unfortunately, they are …

The advent of dermal substitutes provides a revolutionary strategy for the repair and
reconstruction of deep skin defects. Dermal substitutes form a regenerative template that …

Osteoarthritis is a critical disease that comes from degeneration of cartilage tissue. In severe
cases surgery is generally required. Tissue engineering using scaffolds with stem cell …

Increasingly used in craniofacial surgery, virtual surgical planning is applied to analyze and
simulate surgical interventions. Computer-aided design and manufacturing generates …

Plastic surgery is a broad field, including maxillofacial surgery, skin flaps and grafts,
liposuction and body contouring, breast surgery, and facial cosmetic procedures. Due to the …
