Selective cell transplantation using bioabsorbable artificial polymers as matrices.

TL;DR: Conventional forms of drug administration generally rely on pills, eye drops, ointments, and intravenous solutions, but a number of novel drug delivery approaches have been developed, which may revolutionize the way many drugs are delivered.

TL;DR: Various architectural parameters of scaffolds important for bone tissue engineering (e.g. porosity, pore size, interconnectivity, and pore-wall microstructures) are discussed and surface modification of scaffolding is also discussed based on the significant effect of surface chemistry on cells adhesion and function.

TL;DR: In this article, a particulate-leaching method was developed to prepare highly porous biodegradable polymer membranes, which involved the casting of polymer/salt composite membranes followed by the dissolution of the salt.

TL;DR: Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field which applies the principles of engineering and the life sciences toward the development of biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve tissue function, and has now gained wide attention.

TL;DR: This work presents a simple method for incorporating various proteins and other macromolecules into non-inflammatory polymers and demonstrates sustained release of biochemically active macromolescules for periods exceeding 100 d.

TL;DR: A new source of autograft must be found to provide wound coverage in burns when burns are so extensive that skin grafts obtainable from remaining donor sites are insufficient to provide wounds coverage.

TL;DR: Isolated perfused rat livers were dispersed by a two-step procedure of Ca2+ removal (probably including the removal of a Ca2-dependent adhesion factor) followed by enzymatic treatment, and cells were active in the synthesis of RNA, protein, glycogen and various metabolites, and showed sensitivity towards steroid and polypeptide hormones.
