Researchers at Stanford University have formulated a novel biomaterial suitable for three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting: a homogeneous composite of polycaprolactone (PCL), gelatin, and beta-tricalcium phosphate.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a porous biologics-loaded multimaterial construct, called Hybrid Tissue Engineering Construct (HyTEC), with applications in regenerative medicine and therapeutic delivery.
Based on their proprietary HyTEC tissue engineering platform, researchers at Stanford have developed an osteoinductive intramedullary implant (IM) device for improved bone healing.
Stanford inventors have developed a method for collagen compression along with a polymer mesh as a mechanical support to produce collagen-based composite grafts.
Collagen-based hydrogels behave similarly to the native tissue microenvironment, thus are widely used as scaffolds for encapsulating cells or molecules like growth factors. Collagen solution is an injectable liquid until it crosslinks at 37 C and physiological pH.
Researchers at Stanford have developed methods for preparing photo-, and chemical-, cross-linkable three-dimensional matrices for the controlled delivery of bioactive molecules for therapeutic applications.
