Background. Our knowledge of mandibular growth mostly derives from cephalometric radiography, which has inherent limitations due to the two-dimensional (2D) nature of measurement. Objective. To assess 3D morphological changes occurring during growth in a r ...
Congenital malformations or injuries of the urethra can be treated using existing autologous tissue, but these procedures are sometimes associated with severe complications. Therefore, tissue engineering may be advantageous for generating urethral grafts. ...
The reliable assessment of craniofacial morphological changes during growth requires invariant regions for image registration. As these regions have not yet been identified in three dimensions, intra-osseous implants are required as fiducial markers for th ...
Thin hydrogel barriers formed on the inner surface of injured arteries by interfacial photopolymerization dramatically reduced thrombosis and intimal thickening in rat and rabbit models of vascular injury. This polymerization technique allowed the synthesi ...
The treatment of congenital malformations or injuries of the urethra using existing autologous tissues can be associated with post-operative complications. Using rat-tail collagen, we have engineered an acellular high-density collagen tube. These tubes wer ...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the rate and mechanism of conversion of two water-soluble prodrugs of cyclosporine A (CsA) intended for topical delivery to the eye. The new molecules were designed according to the double prodrug concept: a solubilizi ...
Background: Hypospadias and urethral strictures are conditions requiring additional tissue for reconstruction. Due to a limited source of tissue, autologous skin and oral mucosa are frequently used. However, long-term follow-up studies demonstrated signifi ...
OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of a resorbable hydrogel material with oxidized regenerated cellulose and hyaluronic acid in an ovarian adhesion model. DESIGN: Controlled, blinded, and randomized study involving female rabbits. SETTING: Academic researc ...
