چکیده

Bone marrow transplant is a relatively new procedure to treat recently considered incurable diseases. One important part of the procedure is the process of harvesting the donor bone marrow. We are developing a virtual reality simulator for bone marrow harvest that integrates interactive stereo visualization and force feedback techniques. The main objective is to offer a low cost virtual reality system to boost current adopted training methodologies for bone marrow harvesting.

Design and Fabrication of a Novel Transplant Combined with Human Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Platelet-rich Fibrin: New Horizons for Periodontal Tissue Regeneration after Dental Trauma

Avulsed teeth that are replanted dried are more prone to loss. Recent tissue engineering studies focus onfabrication of various cell delivery systems to improve the overall prognosis of such teeth. To evaluate this newcell transplant method, we initially aimed at designing of PRF scaffold and determining BMMSCs viabilityand function on the fabricated scaffold. To test this concept in-vitro, hum...
