Tissue engineering as a means for musculoskeletal damage repair is an ever-growing field. One of the challenges in this tissue engineering is effective interfacial tissue engineering –interfacing between musculoskeletal tissues such as connections from muscle to tendon and ligament to bone. Such interfacing requires gradients in structure, chemical...

Each year, millions of patients, globally, suffer from heart failure and cardiovascular disease. Stem cell transplantation and tissue engineering strategies have tremendous potential for repair and/or regeneration of injured myocardium. The major hurdles in stem cell transplantation are poor cell survival, insufficient cardiogenic differentiation,...
