The ability to engineer a tissue to replace diseased organs is a goal that when achieved will provide an incredible asset to clinicians. In order to engineer a tissue, one must understand how the spec
The development of alternatives for autologous bone grafts is a major focus of bone tissue engineering. To produce living bone-forming implants, skeletal stem and progenitor cells (SSPCs) are envision
In nature, tissues are patterned, but most biomaterials used in human applications are not. Patterned biomaterials offer the opportunity to mimic spatially segregating...
