Chitosan/silk fibroin modified nanofibrous patches with mesenchymal stem cells prevent heart remodeling post-myocardial infarction in rats.

TL;DR: The biomedical applications and biological properties of chitin/chitosan-based nanofibrous scaffolds in bone tissue engineering are outlined and found structurally similar to bone's extracellular matrix and can assist in bone regeneration.

TL;DR: The current challenges and future prospects of hydrogels based on natural polymers are discussed and it is pointed out that 3D printing may offer a new platform for the development of natural polymer‐based hydrogel.

TL;DR: Experiments using model mice with full-thickness skin defects have shown that the layered nanofiber structure could effectively accelerate wound healing and reduce scar formation, and has great potential for future clinical application as wound dressings.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors provide an overview of the most current advances concerning on-body electronics research and the wonders which could be realized by nanomaterials in modern textiles in terms of total energy reliance on our clothes.

TL;DR: Human blastocyst-derived, pluripotent cell lines are described that have normal karyotypes, express high levels of telomerase activity, and express cell surface markers that characterize primate embryonic stem cells but do not characterize other early lineages.

TL;DR: Silks are fibrous proteins with remarkable mechanical properties produced in fiber form by silkworms and spiders that are biocompatible when studied in vitro and in vivo.

TL;DR: The human ES cell--derived cardiomyocytes displayed structural and functional properties of early-stage cardiomers, which may have significant impact on the study of early human cardiac differentiation, functional genomics, pharmacological testing, cell therapy, and tissue engineering.
