Wound healing is a complex process based on the coordinated signaling molecules and dynamic interactions between the engineered scaffold and newly formed tissue. So far, most …
Collagen is the most abundant extracellular-network-forming protein in animal biology and is important in both natural and artificial tissues, where it serves as a material of great …

Currently, the concept of engineered tissues depends on the ability of cultured cells to fabricate new tissue around a scaffold. This is inherently slow and expensive and has had …
Hydrogels were prepared by mixing protein and carbohydrate-based biopolymers to increase the mechanical properties and efficient cell adhesion and proliferation for wound …
Contractile cells can reorganize fibrous extracellular matrices and form dense tracts of fibers between neighboring cells. These tracts guide the development of tubular tissue structures …
Background Collagen, a triple-helical, self-organizing protein, is the predominant structural protein in mammals. It is found in bone, ligament, tendon, cartilage, intervertebral disc, skin …
