A benchtop platform to rapidly produce nanofibrous materials
INV-21085 Background Nanofibrous scaffolds can mimic the mechanical and structural properties of the natural extracellular matrix (ECM) and tissues (e.g., collagenous tissues), thereby demonstrating high potential in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. However, the rapid and reproducible fabrication of biomimetic scaffolds for tissue engineering...

Hygroscopic Molecules Inhibit Collagen Nucleation
INV-20080 Background Collagen serves as the premier, load-bearing molecule in humans and animals, and is one of the major building blocks of bones, skin, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This abundant protein helps to support and repair damaged tissue. However, the medical community has struggled to fully leverage the power of collagen for use...
