Despite incremental improvements in the field of tissue engineering, no technology is
currently available for producing completely autologous implants where both the cells and …

Chronic ocular surface diseases such as dry eye, blepharitis, and neurotrophic
keratopathies represent a significant and a growing therapeutic challenge. The basis of this …

Introduction: Formation of the vasculature is a complex process, defects in which can lead to
embryonic lethality or disease in later life. Understanding mechanisms of vasculogenesis …

One of the strategies for heart regeneration includes cell delivery to the defected heart.
However, most of the injected cells do not form quick cell–cell or cell–matrix interactions …

The mesothelium, the lining of the coelomic cavities, and the urothelium, the inner lining of
the urinary drainage system, are highly specialized epithelia that protect the underlying …

Failure of the ductus arteriosus (DA) to close at birth can lead to serious complications.
Conversely, certain profound congenital cardiac malformations require the DA to be patent …

Omentum-based matrices fabricated by decellularization have the potential to serve as
autologous scaffolds for tissue engineering. Transplantation of such scaffolds prepared from …

Mesothelium is the surface layer of all coelomic organs and is crucial for the generation of
their vasculature. Still, our understanding of the genesis of this essential cell type is …

The success of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) transplantation is limited due to the low
number of HSCs received from donors. In vivo, HSCs reside within a specialized niche …

Aim: Reconstruction of bone defects with autologous grafts has certain disadvantages. The
aim of this study is to introduce a new type of living bioreactor for engineering of bone flaps …
