The responses to such an injury involve evolution of the infarct zone toward a fibrous noncontractile scar and hypertrophy of cells harboured in the still-viable segments of the heart. At best, these compensatory responses can temporarily maintain

A Truly New Approach for Tissue Engineering: The LOEX Self-Assembly Technique,d is currently at a crossroads in its evolution; the validity of this technique is well established. Thus, new clinical applications must appear rapidly, within a few years, so that it will have a true impact on patient care.

Flat Membrane Bioreactor for the Replacement of Liver Functions,These numbers are expected to increase as the 4 million people currently infected with Hepatitis C advance to liver failure. Transplantation, the only effective means of treating liver failure, is not an option for many patients. Some are simply not sick enough to justify the massive cost, invasiven

1941 to 1962, the net loss of farm population from migration and cessation of farming averaged over a million people per year. It took eight years after the war before an administration was willing to begin to talk about the need to diversify rural employment. By that time, farm residents had alrea

The shrinkage of the scaffold under the contractile forces exerted by the cells and the immunological issues associated with the use of bovine collagen are still of primary concern. Furthermore, due t
