On an industrial scale, bacterial genome editing can transform bioengineering processes. These transformed bacterial strains can be deployed for the production of desirable products, such as biofuels, plastics, or active pharmaceutical ingredients, making the processes more efficient, sustainable and cost-effective. ...
Advances in technology have revolutionized our understanding of the cytoskeleton and have expanded the possibilities of bioengineering, diagnostics, and therapeutics. This article explores the cutting-edge technologies related to the cytoskeleton and their exciting applications. ...
Collagen, as one of the most abundant proteins in the human body, plays a key role in maintaining the integrity and function of tissue structures. With the development of bioengineering technology, recombinant human collagen (rhCollagen) produced by recombinant DNA technology has been widely applied in various fields such as medicine, cosmetics, and tissue engineering. ...
In regenerative medicine, it might be used to enhance tissue repair. For example, bioengineers are investigating how to incorporate TNC protein into biomaterials to promote healing. ...

The patient was treated with advanced modalities that included NPWT and a bioengineered skin substitute. Primary Diagnosis Diabetic foot ulcer Treatment & Outcome The patient was not progressing, and the surgeon transitioned to Restrata applications on an as-needed basis. ...
BIOLIFE4D is dedicated to achieving the patient-specific technology to bioengineer a viable, fully functional heart for transplantation which is safe, affordable, and accessible. ...

Background: Synthetic expanded polytetrafluorethylene (ePTFE) grafts are routinely used for vascular repair and reconstruction but prone to sustained bacterial infections. Investigational bioengineered human acellular vessels (HAVs) have shown clinical success and may confer lower susceptibility to infection. ...
Recognizing this capability gap, the US Combat Casualty Care Research Program has partnered with academia and industry to support the development and clinical introduction of a bioengineered human acellular vessel. This human acellular vessel has the potential to be an off-the-shelf conduit that is resistant to infection and incorporates well into native tissues. ...
This was a moment where, as a bioengineer, I brought a unique perspective to the project. Traditionally with phenotypic screens, people look at each image and rate if it looks better or worse, perhaps using some kind of quantitative scale. ...
Objective: Patients with end stage renal failure who require haemodialysis suffer morbidity and mortality due to vascular access. Bioengineered human acellular vessels (HAVs) may provide a haemodialysis access option with fewer complications than other grafts. ...
With the continuous expanding of new bioengineered drugs, the US Pharmacopoeia will continue to add new medicinal excipient products in the future. ...
We present the case of a female patient with a medical history of a right external iliac artery endofibrosis, with a persistently infected synthetic iliofemoral bypass graft, which we replaced with a bioengineered human acellular vessel. At the 12-month follow-up visit, the clinical and radiologic studies demonstrated adequate human acellular vessel patency, with no signs of ...
Biocatalysis involves using natural substances, such as enzymes, from biological sources or entire cells which make chemical reactions more rapid. Enzymes are a critical element in the catalysis of a large number of reactions. This includes the production of alcohol from fermentation and the production of cheese by the breakdown of milk proteins. Many biocatalytic processes have been implemented ...
One of my favorite quotes from the day was from Drew Endy, an associate professor at Stanford who helped start the newest engineering major, bioengineering, at both MIT and Stanford and is president of the BioBricks Foundation. ...
Low AR (~4.5) gold NRs induced considerable cell death due to CTAB, while spherical gold NPs (7 nm) and high AR (~21) gold NRs showed no or minor effects on viability and immune regulatory markers, which supports the further development of high AR gold NRs for medical applications.Keywords: gold nanorods, non-seeded, nitric acid, high aspect ratio, biocompatibility, dendritic cells, ...
