Most superficial wounds (ones involving the epidermis and sometimes the partial dermis) heal quickly, often without scarring, and typically covered with readily available wound dressings. However, when trauma occurs and large portions of the epidermis and dermis are destroyed, it may be necessary to put a structure in place to aid the body in generating new tissue. NovoSorb® BTM is a fully ...

The MMP Family Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of enzymes belonging to the metzincin superfamily. There are 23 different types of secreted or membrane-anchored endopeptidases in the human body. MMPs are capable of degrading ECM proteins such as collagen, gelatin, laminin, fibronectin, fibrinogen, elastin, and proteoglycans. They were once considered regulators of the extracellular ...

Abstract Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in the United States. Deployment of stents and vascular grafts has been a major therapeutic method for treatment. However, restenosis, incomplete endothelialization, and thrombosis hamper the long term clinical success. As a solution to meet these current challenges, we have developed a native endothelial ECM mimicking ...

The anterior cruciate ligament, better known as the ACL, is one of the four ligaments within the knee that connect the femur to the tibia. It’s also one of the most commonly injured ligaments in the knee, especially among athletes. Unlike many other ligaments in the body, the ACL does not have the ability to heal on its own. A thick liquid – called synovial fluid – reduces ...

Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) is a general term for the glycan part of proteoglycan macromolecules. Glycosaminoglycans are large linear polysaccharides composed of repeating disaccharide units, and their main configuration contains amino sugars and uronic acids (glucuronic acid and/or iduronic acid). Glycosaminoglycans can be divided into chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, keratan sulfate, ...

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires that all medical devices are identified with a unique device identifier (UDI), in both human and machine-readable forms. These UDI regulations were put in place to enable healthcare providers and manufacturers to more quickly identify flawed devices, leading to faster recalls, and a reduction in medical errors. UDI regulations UDIs are unique ...

Abstract The goal of this study is to develop unique native endothelium mimicking nanomatrices and evaluate their effects on adhesion and spreading of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and aortic smooth muscle cells (AoSMCs). These nanomatrices were developed by self-assembly of peptide amphiphiles (PAs) through a solvent evaporation technique. Three PAs, one containing the ...

Osteogenesis, or new bone formation, begins in the early stages of embryonic development and continues postnatally until skeletal maturity is reached in early adulthood. Osteogenesis reoccurs in the event of bone trauma, such as a fracture or surgically created defect. Bone mass can also increase in response to chronic weight bearing from daily use or decrease due to a lack of movement or applied ...
