Gecko-inspired medical adhesives that may have potential applications for sealing wounds and for replacement or augmentation of sutures or staples. This work has been recently published in PNAS. |
|
A simple methodology to control the differentiation of hESCs into the vascular lineage. An approach that uses biocompatible and biodegradable components and allows for the control of several variables of potential importance for cell differentiation including growth factor concentration and spatial positioning of growth factors. This work has been recently published in Advanced Materials. |
