Researchers at Stanford University have found that recombinant osteopontin (SPP1) protein reduces foreign body response (FBR) and thereby facilitates successful integration and function of implantable devices.
Inventors at Stanford University have developed a light-based 3D printing system that achieves high printing resolutions and fast printing speeds with cell-compatible natural protein biomaterials when compared to existing methods.
This invention describes reinforced grafts made from biocompatible materials that are designed for use in surgical procedures such as coronary bypass graft surgery, vascular surgery, and arteriovenous fistula.
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.
Stanford scientists have invented a new suite of adaptable hydrogel biomaterials that are optically transparent and injectable for cell encapsulation, tissue engineering, and drug delivery.
Stanford researchers have constructed a microbial cell factory by genetically modifying the bacterium Methylomicrobium alcaliphilum 20Z to convert methanol and methane into para-hydroxybenzoic acid (p-HBA).
Current injectable hydrogel materials have fast erosion and limited tunability of their mechanical properties at different stages of applications, limiting their biomedical applications.
A team of Stanford researchers has developed a precisely controlled hydrogel drug delivery system that prevents scarring and promotes wound healing in large, full thickness wounds.
Researchers in Dr. Craig Criddle's lab have developed a method for enriching microorganisms with high poly(3-hydroxy)butyrate (PHB) production in non-sterile mixed culture conditions.
Researchers in Dr. Alfred Spormann's lab have developed a method of using co-cultures to enhance microbial electrosynthesis to allow more efficient production of desired products such as biofuel.
Stanford researchers developed a method to increase microbial fermentation gas transfer – a limiting factor in the production of bio products such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs).
Hydrogel-based tissue engineering scaffolds are widely used for culturing cells in three dimensions (3D) due to their tissue-like water content, tunable biochemical and physical properties, and ease of cell encapsulation and distribution in 3D.
