This review describes a novel method for accelerating tissue regeneration by !-gal nanoparticles and proposes methods for !-gal nanoparticles mediated increased efficacy of biomaterials used in tissue engineering. !-Gal nanoparticles present multiple !-gal epitopes (Gal!1-3Gal"1-4GlcNAc-R) that bind the most abundant natural antibody in all humansthe anti-Gal antibody, constituting ~1% of immun...

OBJECTIVES of this review is to inform practitioners with the most updated information on tissue engineering and its potential applications in dentistry. DATA The authors used "PUBMED" to find relevant literature written in English and published from the beginning of tissue engineering until today. A combination of keywords was used as the search terms e.g., "tissue engineering", "approaches"...

spinal cord injury (sci) results in the damage of motor and sensory pathways. the molecular and cellular structure of the injury milieu has been shown to be vital for endogenous regeneration in most tissues. regeneration of injured central nervous system (cns) is limited by damaged cell environment. biomaterial scaffolds can reconstruct injured cns tissue following sci by promoting the migratio...

Current surgical treatments and material applications are not ideal for the treatment of orthopedic clinical injuries, such as large bone defects, cartilage vascular tendon adhesions that occur after repair. With continuous development tissue engineering technology, hydrogels have become important medical biomaterials. Hydrogels three-dimensional hydrophilic network structures composed cross-li...

introduction: bone regeneration grafts (brg) are widely used in the treatment of osseous defects and oral surgery. the various techniques and associated success rates of bone augmentation require evaluation by systematic review and meta-analysis of eligible studies. the aim of this systematic review was to compare alveolar bone regeneration in humans using bio-oss and autogenous bone graft. mat...

A good barrier membrane is one of the important factors for effective guided bone/tissue regeneration (GBR/GTR) in case periodontal bone defects. Several methods are being discussed to overcome and improve shortcomings commercially available membranes. One coat with bioactive materials. In this study, 41 studies related coated membranes GBR/GTR published last 5 years were reviewed. These report...

Guided bone regeneration has become more predictable due to advances in material sciences. Nevertheless, vertical ridge augmentation (VRA) remains a potential challenge due to the complexity of soft tissue management. This becomes more complicated in the posterior atrophic mandible due to limited access and poorer blood supply. As such, a number of critical elements must be taken into considera...

Microbial cellulose has proven to be a remarkably versatile biomaterial and can be used in wide variety of applied scientific endeavors, such as paper products, electronics, acoustics, and biomedical devices. In fact, biomedical devices recently have gained a significant amount of attention because of an increased interest in tissue-engineered products for both wound care and the regeneration o...
