Polymer scaffolds constitute a very interesting strategy for tissue engineering. Even though
they are generally non-toxic, in some cases, they may not provide suitable support for cell …

The growing need for treatment of the impaired bone tissue has resulted in the quest for the
improvement of bone tissue regeneration strategies. Bone tissue engineering is trying to …

Drugs currently approved to coat stents used in percutaneous coronary interventions do not
discriminate between proliferating vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and endothelial …

Vascularization in bone tissues is essential for the distribution of nutrients and oxygen, as
well as the removal of waste products. Fabrication of tissue-engineered bone constructs with …

The significant clinical feature of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ)
is the exposure of the necrotic jaw. Other clinical manifestations include jaw pain, swelling …

Fragments from the extracellular matrix proteins laminin and osteopontin and a sequence
from VEGF have potent proangiogenic activity despite their small size (< 10 residues) …

Major limitations of current tissue regeneration approaches using artificial scaffolds are
fibrous encapsulation, lack of host cellular infiltration, unwanted immune responses, surface …

Background The expression of calcium/calmodulin‐dependent kinase IV (CaMKIV) was
hitherto thought to be confined to the nervous system. However, a recent genome‐wide …

The design of materials for regenerative medicine has focused on delivery of small molecule
drugs, proteins, and cells to help accelerate healing. Additionally, biomaterials have been …

Accumulating evidence indicates that microRNAs (miRs)—non‐coding RNAs that can
regulate gene expression via translational repression and/or post‐transcriptional …
