Spinal cord injury (SCI) will lead to irreversible damage of sensory and motor function of central nervous system, which seriously affects patient's quality of life. A variety of nerve engineering materials carrying various stem cells and cell growth factors had used to promote the repair of SCI, but they could not mimic the actual matric niche at ...

Among various biomaterials, we focused on nanofiber-based polyglycolic acid (PGA) fabric and examined the dynamics of cells that migrate within the non-woven fabric after implantation. The efficacy of nano-PGA as a tissue reinforcement in the process of subcutaneous tissue repair was immunohistochemically investigated. Two types of clinically avail...

Engineering skin substitutes represent a prospective source of advanced therapy in repairing severe traumatic wounds. Sodium alginate (SA) and silk fibroin (SF) are natural biomaterials, which are widely used in tissue engineering and other fields because of their low price, high safety, and good biocompatibility. However, SA itself degrades slowly...

Nitinol (NiTi), a nickel-titanium alloy, has been used for various cardiovascular, orthopedic, fracture fixation, and orthodontic devices. As with most other metallic biomaterials, the corrosion resistance and biocompatibility of NiTi are primarily determined by the properties of the surface oxide layer such as thickness, chemical composition, stru...

Leukocyte-platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) has been suggested for gap management for immediate implant placement when the distance is greater than 2 mm. However, there remains a paucity in hierarchically designed research to support this application. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of L-PRF on the osseointegration parameters of dental im...

Bioadhesives are medical devices used to join or seal tissues that have been injured or incised. They have been classified into tissue adhesives, sealants, and hemostatic agents. Bioadhesives such as FloSeal®, CoSeal®, BioGlue®, Evicel®, Tisseel®, Progel™ PALS, and TissuGlu® have been commercialized and used in clinical setting. They can be formula...
