Cells self-organize into functional, ordered structures during tissue morphogenesis, a process that is evocative of colloidal self-assembly into engineered soft materials. Understanding how intercellu
The surgical reconstruction of functional neovagina is challenging and susceptible to complications. Therefore, developing tissue engineering based treatment methods for vaginal defects is important.
Demosponges are a well-known source of a plethora of bioactive compounds. In particular, they are able to form a skeleton by direct deposition of silica in a process catalyzed by silicatein. Herein, w
