Improving the Bioactivity of Polymeric Bone Regenerative Scaffolds Through Physically and Chemically Incorporated Molecules Segmental reconstruction of weight-bearing long bones is particularly challenging and can result in significant disability to patients. Although autografts and allografts are widely used in the clinic, the development of artificial bone graft substitutes (BGSs) continues to be an area of … Read More
ENGINEERING L-TYROSINE BASED POLYCARBONATE COPOLYMERS AS DEGRADABLE DEVICES FOR LONG-TERM, LOCALIZED DELIVERY OF A HYDROPHOBIC MACROLIDE IMMUNOSUPPRESSANT TO PREVENT TRANSPLANT REJECTION Advances in surgical techniques and immunology have enabled transplantation of vascularized composite tissue allografts (VCAs, e.g., upper extremity, face, genitourinary tissues) to treat complex soft tissue injuries and extremity amputations. However, more than 85% … Read More
