Electroconductive materials as biomimetic platforms for tissue regeneration

Biotechnology Advances

Abstract

In many diseases, tissue regeneration is compromised and/or insufficient to restore tissue/organ function. Therefore, novel regenerative therapies are being developed to enhance resident and transplanted cell proliferation and functional differentiation. Numerous biomaterials engineered to include nanocomponents have emerged as promising candidates to fulfil the need of mimicking the properties of the healthy extracellular matrix. This is particularly important for tissues that require electroconductive support to achieve optimal cellular function, such as muscles and neurons. In this review, we summarize and discuss the current state-of-the-art for electroconductive materials in tissue regeneration, with particular emphasis on materials containing nanocomponents.

Adult Stem Cells

Adult stem cells reside in unique niches that provide vital cues for their survival, self-renewal, and differentiation. They hold great promise for use in tissue repair and regeneration as a novel therapeutic strategies. Here is the latest research.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
