Biomaterials for Cardiac Tissue Engineering
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a leading death cause in developed countries (1 of every 3 deaths in the United States in 2008) [1]. Changes in diet and habits are causing CVD to become major mortality pathologies in developing countries too [2] (they are already responsible for a 30% of the world deaths). This group of diseases constitutes a great burden for the national health systems, cons...
متن کاملMapping Immune Signatures of Biomaterials
Introduction Vaccines have generated one of the largest impacts on human health in history, but there is a rising need for vaccines that are not only potent, but that also allow control over the specific nature of immune response. This idea is termed immunomodulation and refers to the ability to direct immune outcomes, for example, by generating polarized Th1 or Th2 function. Synthetic biomater...
متن کاملBiomaterials for Dental PulP engineering
ago is within the realm of possibility today, and various tissue engineering products are already being applied in clinical practice. Spectacular developments include the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (Takahashi and Yamanaka, 2006), a beating heart in a petri dish (Jakab et al., 2008), the first successful transplantation of a tissue-engineered trachea (Macchiarini et al., 2008),...
متن کاملKeratoconus: Tissue Engineering and Biomaterials
Keratoconus (KC) is a bilateral, asymmetric, corneal disorder that is characterized by progressive thinning, steepening, and potential scarring. The prevalence of KC is stated to be 1 in 2000 persons worldwide; however, numbers vary depending on size of the study and regions. KC appears more often in South Asian, Eastern Mediterranean, and North African populations. The cause remains unknown, a...
