Incorporation of recombinant fibronectin into genetically engineered elastin-based polymers
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-11-17)
Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of death in the United States. Many of these conditions require the grafting or bypassing of compromised blood vessels. To this effect, biological vascular grafts (autografts and ...
Incorporation of protease-sensitive biomaterial degradation and tensile strain for applications in ligament-bone interface tissue engineering
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-11-02)
The interface between tendon/ligament and bone tissue is a complex transition of biochemical, cellular, and mechanical properties. Investigating computational and tissue engineering models that imitate aspects of this ...
Tailoring the toughness and biological response of photopolymerizable networks for orthopaedic applications
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-08-27)
Novel surgical strategies for spinal disc repair are currently being developed that require materials that (1) possess the appropriate mechanical properties to mimic the tissue the material is replacing or repairing and ...
