Electrospun synthetic cell scaffolds are not only more consistent than animal cells for cancer research, they hold the potential to replace animal testing. In the field of cancer research, the idea ...

This study investigates the Mimetix® electrospun scaffold, which consists of highly uniform electrospun PLLA microfibres supporting the three-dimensional growth of cells, as a cell-based assay system ...

Biomedical research often requires the use of biological models, and rodents are a common choice for many investigators. But researchers may have just made it easier for investigators to switch to an ...

Electrospinning leads to the production of continuous micro-and nanofibers from solutions-driven exclusively by an electric field. Over the past decade, there here has been a significant growth of ...

Biomedical engineers cut post-processing steps to make electrospun nanofibers for wound healing and improve 3D-matrices for biological tissues. They speed up prototyping using identical materials.

The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons that stabilizes the shoulder joint. It also helps in the motion of the shoulder. Rotator cuff tear is the most common condition involving ailing ...

Copper-Loaded Scaffolds for Targeted Treatment of Traumatic Brain Injury. This illustration shows the process of electrospinning copper oxide-loaded polycaprolactone (PCL) and gelatin (Gel) scaffolds ...

Rao, assistant professor of biomedical engineering at Michigan Technological University, recently published the findings in the journal IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology ...
