  • Myocardial Tissue Engineering

    Edited by Aldo R. Boccaccini, Sian Harding ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    Myocardial tissue engineering (MTE), a concept that intends to prolong patients’ life after cardiac damage by supporting or restoring heart function, is continuously improving. Common MTE strategies include an engineered ‘vehicle’, which may be a porous scaffold or a dense substrate or patch, made of either natural or synthetic polymeric materials. The function of the substrate is to aid ... Read more

  • Lentiviral Vectors and Gene Therapy

    by David Escors, Karine Breckpot, Frederick Arce, Grazyna Kochan, Holly Stephenson ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Gene therapy was conceived during the early and mid part of the 20th century. At first, it was considered a revolutionary biomedical procedure, which could potentially cure any disease for which the molecular bases were understood. Since then, gene therapy has gone through many stages and has evolved from a nearly unrealistic perspective to a real life application. Clinical efficacy in humans was ... Read more
