General Abstract

The developing fields of bone tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have identified skeletal defects, such as degenerative disorders of the lumbar spine, as attractive translational targets. Bone tissue engineering comprises cells, biomaterials, which should preferably be biodegradable, and biologics (biological stimuli to trigger differentiation of stem cells). Mesenchymal stem cells (M...

General Abstract

Cartilage degeneration is a major clinical problem nowadays. Current treatment options aim for pain management and removal of damaged tissue instead of repairing the tissue. The ultimate goal for the treatment of cartilage defects would be reconstruction of the tissue by which all the properties of the native tissue are preserved. Tissue engineering aims at restoring the tissue and thereby also...

Results: Older patient age at the time of transplant was a significant factor favorably affecting patient survival (P .031). Trends toward better survival rates were observed in those transplants performed more recently (P .063), in those patients with greater body weight (P .084), in those not hospitalized at the time of transplant (P .14), and in those without concomitant liver failure (P .12...
