During synthetic scaffold implantation in a clinical setting, graft-host mechanical mismatch is a long-standing issue for soft tissue regeneration. While bioengineers have denoted numerous efforts to resolve this challenge, ...
Heart failure is a common condition, though it currently lacks a cure. And treatments can only manage symptoms, often with side effects. But recent research published in ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering could open up ...
