Using a hydrogel coated with electrospun nanofiber, a new artery graft offers safer coronary artery bypass interventions.
Results for "graft"
Glass-like knee grafts help address donor shortage
A cryopreservation technique puts graft tissue into a glass-like state, preserving cells and viability during long-term storage.
Individualized brain cell grafts reverse Parkinson’s symptoms in monkeys
A new study provides hope for Parkinson’s disease, showing that neuron grafts using patients’ own cells have the potential to manage and even reverse symptoms.
From Microbes and Fetal Allografts to a Better Understanding of Cancer Immune Tolerance
In their ‘Think again’ article published in BioEssays, Megan Barnet and colleagues discuss how insights from fetal allografts and microbes can lead to a better understanding of immune tolerance in cancer.
Fuel cell water highways paved by electron radiation grafting
Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute have developed a coating technique that improves water management in fuel cells, thus raising their efficiency.
Grafting Thick Films by Surface-Initiated Photo-Polymerization
Modification of surfaces by grafting polymer chains from surface-anchored initiators opens vast opportunities to engineer surface properties of materials.
Plasma etching for better vascular grafts
A Montreal-based research group have developed aligned electrospun PET nanofiber mats that mimic the media layer of arteries.
Polymer grafting is a new route to coatings for li-ion batteries
Researchers develop a new approach to create a homogeneous carbon coating on the surface of titanium dioxide nanoparticles for use in lithium ion batteries.
Avocado tree waste used to make sustainable food packaging
A material derived from avocado pruning waste and bio-polyethylene combines high strength with biodegradability.
A biodegradable scaffold repairs nerve damage in mice
A fully biodegradable nerve scaffold not only helps regenerate damaged nerves, but negates the need for retrieval procedures.
