Despite its intrinsic ability to regenerate form and function after injury, bone tissue can be
challenged by a multitude of pathological conditions. While innovative approaches have …

Across complex, multi-time and-length scale biological systems, redundancy confers
robustness and resilience, enabling adaptation and increasing survival under dynamic …

Over the last decade, numerous biopolymers have received more attention in medical
applications involving novel biomaterials because of their biocompatibility, biodegradability …

Healing and regeneration of bone injuries, particularly those that are associated with large
bone defects, are a complicated process. There is growing interest in the application of …

Polystyrene (PS) has brought in vitro cell culture from its humble beginnings to the modern
era, propelling dozens of research fields along the way. This review discusses the …

Diarthrodial joints are essential for load bearing and locomotion. Physiologically, articular
cartilage sustains millions of cycles of mechanical loading. Chondrocytes, the cells in …

Stem cell behaviors are regulated by multiple microenvironmental cues. As an external
