Description:: To accelerate the implementation of technologies enabled by two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, the human health and environmental implications of these materials need to be addressed. Fundamental studies which elucidate the mechanisms of toxicity and environmental fate will allow for the safer design of these materials and promote their widespread use. This...

Description:: Articular cartilage is a type of connective tissue that protects the underlying bone from the compressive forces of daily activities. When cartilage is damaged via a traumatic event, chondral defects are formed and require medical intervention. However, current treatments are of inconsistent efficacy and only benefit a subset of patients....

Description:: Despite three decades of intense research into small diameter blood vessel tissue engineering, constructs developed to date lack the elastin necessary for long term patency and the prevention of aneurysms. The suboptimal biochemical composition suggests that new biochemical and mechanical culture methods must be developed. In addition, current biomaterials for...
