Nowadays there are at present no efficient therapies for spinal cord injury (SCI), and new
approaches have to be proposed. Recently, a new regenerative medicine strategy has been …

Cell microencapsulation technology is likely to have an increasingly important role in new
approaches rather than the classical and pioneering organ replacement. Apart from …

Injuries and disease to the central nervous system (CNS) are accompanied by severe
consequences, as the adult CNS has very limited capacity to replace the lost neural cells …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a complicated neuropathological condition that results in
functional dysfunction and paralysis. Various treatments have been proposed including …

Implantation of a nerve guidance conduit (NGC) carrying neuroprotective factors is
promising for repairing peripheral nerve injury. Here, we developed a novel strategy for …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) has been implicated in neural cell loss and consequently functional
motor and sensory impairment. In this study, we propose an alginate-based neurobridge …

The importance of Interpenetrating Polymer Networks (IPNs) in biomedical and
pharmaceutical fields is continuously growing because of their mechanical and drug carrier …

There is currently no treatment for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's or
Alzheimer's diseases. While spinal cord injury has no treatment either, nerve injuries are …

One of the goals of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is restoring primary living
tissue function by manufacturing a 3D microenvironment. One of the main challenges is …

Patients with organ failure often suffer from increased morbidity and decreased quality of life.
Current strategies of treating organ failure have limitations, including shortage of donor …
