Engineering Blood Vessels with Nanofibers Tissue engineers at the Northwestern University announce the development of a new type of nanofibers, that can be used to boost the regenerative abilities of blood vessels. This could aid people who've just suffered a stroke or heart attack, the team says. Patients diagnosed with peripheral arterial diseases, or... 3 August 2011 06:01 GMT Calibrating New Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering There is currently no doubt in the international bioengineering community that the future of health care is in personalized medicine. This means that future transplant patients, for example, will no longer have to wait on extensive donor lists in order to get the kidney, heart, liver or lung they need to survive. The... 14 May 2009 15:31 GMT Canada Funds Tissue Engineering Efforts The Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) is a government-backed independent corporation, created for the purpose of funding advanced biological research throughout the country. It supplies funds to scientists looking for breakthrough in such areas as bone and tissue engineering, orthopedics and cardiovascular healt... 16 December 2008 07:22 GMT
