Nanosilver loaded GelMA hydrogel for antimicrobial coating of biomedical implants
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Bacterial adhesion to the surface of implants in surgical procedures represents a major problem in surgeries, as it incurs high medical costs and could lead to postoperative infections. Different strategies have been ...
Experimental studies and computer modeling of viscoelastic properties of heart valve leaflets: Implication in heart valve tissue engineering
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Diseased or damaged heart valve leaflets are amongst the major causes of illness and death globally. The currently available treatment of heart valve patients is to mend the damaged valves, but in most severe cases, heart ...
Electrospun PET-PU scaffolds for vascular tissue engineering
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is projected to continuously increase in the coming decades, with a colossal associated cost of treatment. In the US alone, 83.6 million people are estimated to have one or ...
Effect of bone density on the compressive mechanical properties of bovine trabecular bone
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The density of bone is subject to change due to natural causes or bone abnormalities and disorders such as osteopenia, osteomalacia and osteoporosis. One of the most concerning attributes of osteoporosis is its non-expressive ...
Culture of PC12 neuronal cells in GelMA hydrogel for brain tissue engineering
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Restoration of brain functions following trauma or degenerative neural diseases is considered among the greatest challenges in neurology due to the fact that the central nervous system (CNS) does not regenerate on its own. ...
