Download or read book Advanced Materials and Models in the Establishment and Repair of Pathological Microenvironment written by Behnam Akhavan and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-05-06 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tissue engineering technology is a multidisciplinary technology to construct a composite system of seed cells, scaffolds, and bioactive factors. This technology has achieved good results in repairing or replacing biological tissues in a healthy state. However, in the pathological microenvironment, it often leads to damaged function of seed cells, inactivation of bioactive factors, and abnormal degradation or damage of scaffolds. Targeting the local microenvironment specifically to different diseases and designing specific tissue engineering strategies to repair and replace tissue damage is an urgent problem to be solved.

Download or read book Unveiling the Tumor Microenvironment by Machine Learning to Develop New Immunotherapeutic Strategies Volume I B written by Nan Zhang and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-10-24 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a critical role in tumor proliferation, progression, and therapeutic responses. TME is a complex network of cancer cells, stromal cells, and, most importantly, infiltrating immune cells. Cancer cells regulate numerous biological functions through direct or indirect interaction with TME components. Emerging evidence suggests that TME crucially influences the response to both chemotherapy and immunotherapy. As scientific research has entered the big data era with the fast development of high-throughput sequencing technologies, machine learning has been gradually widely applied to extract important knowledge from big data bioinformatics. Thus, characterizing the TME landscape in cancer and identifying different immune-related TME phenotypes using machine learning-based bioinformatics analyses, in vitro experiments, and in vivo experiments are of great interest and significance.

Download or read book From Additive Manufacturing to 3D 4D Printing 3 written by Jean-Claude André and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-12-27 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a turnover of some 5-15 billion € / year, the additive manufacturing has industrial niches bearers thanks to processes and materials more and more optimized. While some niches still exist on the application of additive techniques in traditional fields (from jewelery to food for example), several trends emerge, using new concepts: collective production, realization of objects at once (without addition Of material), micro-fluidic, 4D printing exploiting programmable materials and materials, bio-printing, etc. There are both opportunities for new markets, promises not envisaged less than 10 years ago, but difficulties in reaching them.

Download or read book Advances in Regenerative Medicine Role of Nanotechnology and Engineering Principles written by Venkatram Prasad Shastri and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-08-14 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes the NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) on “Nanoengineered Systems for Regenerative Medicine” that was organized under the auspices of the NATO Security through Science Program. I would like to thank NATO for supporting this workshop via a grant to the co-directors. The objective of ARW was to explore the various facets of regenerative me- cine and to highlight role of the “the nano-length scale” and “nano-scale systems” in defining and controlling cell and tissue environments. The development of novel tissue regenerative strategies require the integration of new insights emerging from studies of cell-matrix interactions, cellular signalling processes, developmental and systems biology, into biomaterials design, via a systems approach. The chapters in the book, written by the leading experts in their respective disciplines, cover a wide spectrum of topics ranging from stem cell biology, developmental biology, ce- matrix interactions, and matrix biology to surface science, materials processing and drug delivery. We hope the contents of the book will provoke the readership into developing regenerative medicine paradigms that combine these facets into cli- cally translatable solutions. This NATO meeting would not have been successful without the timely help of Dr. Ulrike Shastri, Sanjeet Rangarajan and Ms. Sabine Benner, who assisted in the organization and implementation of various elements of this meeting. Thanks are also due Dr. Fausto Pedrazzini and Ms. Alison Trapp at NATO HQ (Brussels, Belgium). The commitment and persistence of Ms.
