Spare Parts from Discarded Materials: Fetal Annexes in Regenerative Medicine

Human Fetal tissue transplantation in Regenerative Medicine

Graphene-Based Materials in Regenerative Medicine.

Graphene possesses many unique properties such as two-dimensional planar structure, super conductivity, chemical and mechanical stability, large surface area, and good biocompatibility. In the past few years, graphene-based materials have risen as a shining star on the path of researchers seeking new materials for future regenerative medicine. Herein, the recent research advances made in graphe...

Nanotechnology in regenerative medicine: the materials side.

Regenerative medicine is an emerging multidisciplinary field that aims to restore, maintain or enhance tissues and hence organ functions. Regeneration of tissues can be achieved by the combination of living cells, which will provide biological functionality, and materials, which act as scaffolds to support cell proliferation. Mammalian cells behave in vivo in response to the biological signals ...

On spare parts optimization

In the book “Optimal inventory modeling of systems: multi-echelon techniques” the author Craig Sherbrooke, who has developed several important model in this area, describes a part of the model cosidered in this manuscript as follows (in “aircraft language”): “When a malfunction is diagnosed on an aircraft, the malfuncioning item is removed from the aircraft and brought into base supply. If a sp...

Condition based spare parts supply

We consider a spare parts stock point that serves an installed base of machines. Each machine contains the same critical component, whose degradation behavior is described by a Markov process. We consider condition based spare parts supply, and show that an optimal, condition based inventory policy is 20% more efficient on average than a standard, state-independent base stock policy. We further...
