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.
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.
