Recent years have witnessed extraordinary progress in tissue repair, driven primarily by innovations in biomaterial design and biofabrication. In ...

• A dual-function peptide developed for in-situ engineering native extracellular matrix. • The dual-function peptide specifically anchors endogenous endothelial cells to extracellular matrix. Ischemic ...

This study is led by Prof. Yingfang Ao, Prof. Jianquan Wang and Dr. Xiaoqing Hu (Beijing Key Laboratory of Sports Injuries, Institute of Sports Medicine of Peking University, Peking University Third ...

It is relatively easy to grow cells in the lab but turning them into realistic models of human tissue is harder. This requires creating an environment that closely mirrors the conditions in the body’s ...

Recently, a research team from Chongqing Medical University, led by Prof. Wei Huang, Dr. Wei Bao, and Dr. Yiting Lei, has successfully developed a novel engineered extracellular matrix (eECM) to ...

Uncontrolled secretion of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins such as collagen can lead to excessive scarring and fibrosis, and compromise tissue function. Researchers at the Center for Genomic ...

In tissue engineering, the scaffold material must eventually degrade leaving behind only regenerated tissue. For hydrogels that serve as cell encapsulation platforms, hydrogel degradation must closely ...
