Tissue Engineering of Corneal Endothelium [PDF]
Journal of Functional Biomaterials, 2012 Human corneal endothelial cells (HCECs) do not replicate after wounding. Therefore, corneal endothelial deficiency can result in irreversible corneal edema. Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) allows selective replacement of the diseased corneal endothelium.

Cell Adhesion by Design: Engineering Tissue Culture Scaffolds With Adhesion Cues
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In scaffold‐based tissue engineering, the matrix should provide adequate adhesion cues for cell attachment, spreading, and function. Given the multitude of adhesion receptors and the diversity of scaffolds, there are many approaches to render scaffolds adhesive, even though they are not all equivalent.

A Nanoparticle‐Integrated Complete Manufacturing Pipeline of Chemically Engineered Exosomes
Advanced Science, EarlyView.We report a novel manufacture technology of chemically engineered exosomes. The four steps of manufacturing, i.e., biogenesis, loading, isolation, and storage, are integrated by the use of a nanoparticle. The manufacture technology incorporates three innovative components, i.e., a new nano‐bio effect, a new composite nanoparticle, and a new isolation ...
