Driven by enormous clinical need, myocardial tissue engineering has become a prime focus
of research within the field of tissue engineering. Myocardial tissue engineering combines …

Collagen is a crucial matrix component of articular cartilage. Because articular cartilage is a
load bearing tissue, developing mechanical integrity is a central goal of tissue engineering …

During forelimb regeneration in the newt Notophthalmus viridescens, the dynamic
expression of a transitional matrix rich in hyaluronic acid, tenascin-C, and fibronectin …

Cell replacement therapy with multi-potent neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) into the
injured spinal cord is limited by poor survival and host tissue integration. An injectable and …

Cartilage matrix mechanical function is largely determined by interactions between the
collagen fibrillar network and the proteoglycan gel. Although the molecular physics of these …

The biomechanical properties of soft tissues play an important role in their normal
physiological and physical function, and may possibly relate to certain diseases. The advent …

Tropocollagen plays a very important role in the load bearing functionality of soft tissues. In
the context of multi-scale modeling the response of tropocollagen molecules to stretch …

At the end of the 20th century, various data have been collected in biology through
molecular approaches without being able however to explain the underlying …

Most human tissues do not regenerate spontaneously; this is why cell therapies and tissue
engineering are promising alternatives. The principle is simple: cells are collected in a …

Micromanipulation of individual cells and molecules is increasingly important for a wide
range of biophysical research because, although ensemble biochemical analysis provides …
