Hydrogels for Musculoskeletal Tissue Engineering
The advancements in scaffold-supported cell therapy for musculoskeletal tissue engineering have been truly dramatic in the last couple of decades.... -
Regeneration of Articular Cartilage
Loss of articular cartilage from the ends of bones forming diarthrodial joints can be the source of profound pain and disability, and eventually lead... -
Tissue Engineering Strategies for Bone Regeneration
Bone loss due to trauma or disease is an increasingly serious health problem. Current clinical treatments for critical-sized defects are problematic... -
Polymeric Systems for Bioinspired Delivery of Angiogenic Molecules
Growth factors are increasingly utilized to promote regeneration of lost or compromised tissues and organs. However, current strategies applying... -
Biopolyesters in Tissue Engineering Applications
Tissue engineering is a rapidly growing interdisciplinary field of research focused on the development of vital autologous tissue through the use... -
Interfaces to Control Cell-Biomaterial Adhesive Interactions
Cell adhesion to adsorbed proteins and adhesive sequences engineered on surfaces is crucial to cellular and host responses to implanted devices,... -
Simultaneous In Vivo Regeneration of Neodermis, Epidermis, and Basement Membrane
Full-thickness skin loss does not undergo complete spontaneous regeneration in mammals. To restore the normal function of skin, dermal and epidermal... -
Heart Valve Regeneration
The valves of the heart cannot regenerate spontaneously. Therefore, heart valve disease generally necessitates surgical repair or replacement of the... -
Regeneration of Urologic Tissues and Organs
Patients suffering from a variety of urologic diseases may be treated with transplanted tissues and organs. However, there is a shortage of donor... -

Current Topics Regarding the Function of the Medial Temporal Lobe Memory System
The first clear insight that the medial temporal lobe of the human brain was in fact a system of anatomically connected structures that were... -
Effects of Sex Steroids on Innate and Adaptive Immunity
Estrogens and androgens are classically recognized as reproductive sex steroid hormones because of their well-documented effects on reproductive... -
Spinal Cord Regeneration
Repairing the damaged spinal cord has for a long time eluded neuroscientists. Few other achievements in neuroscience would have such a tremendous... -
Self-Assembling Nanopeptides Become a New Type of Biomaterial
Combining physics, engineering, chemistry and biology, we can now design, synthesize and fabricate biological nano-materials at the molecular... -
Modulating Extracellular Matrix at Interfaces of Polymeric Materials
As extracellular matrices (ECM) closely interact with cells in living tissues and, through this, influence essentially any aspect of life... -
Peripheral Nerve Regeneration
The nerve chamber model has dominated the experimental study of peripheral nerve (PN) regeneration with animal models as well as in several clinical... -
Approach and Nature of Palliative Care
Caring for people who are near the end of life has a relatively short timeframe as a specialist health care activity. In this chapter, the history of... -
Post-traumatic Epilepsy and Neuropsychiatric Comorbidities
Post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) is a form of acquired epilepsy that arises from traumatic brain injury (TBI). It presents a complex relationship with... -
Vaccines
Vaccines are among the most successful health interventions against infectious diseases currently available. They prevent infectious diseases and are... -
Dirty Minds: How Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) and Other Pollutants Affect the Neuroendocrinology of Behavior and Emotions
Thousands of anthropogenic chemicals occupy our bodies and environment, a situation that imperils the health of present and future generations. This...
