Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a devasting lung disease characterized by progressive scarring of lung tissue. As fibrosis develops, patients experience worsening shortness of breath, reduced lung capacity and ultimately respiratory failure. Current therapies for IPF rely on oral administration of pirfenidone and nintedanib, two FDA-approved drugs that slow disease progression. While ...
Regenerative Medicine A 2024 pilot study published in MDPI’s International Journal of Molecular Sciences showed that combining chitosan biomaterials with autologous stem cells led to near-complete healing of a chronic heel ulcer with osteomyelitis, illustrating chitosan’s promise in advanced regenerative therapies (MDPI IJMS). Conclusion Chitosan is a ...

In surgical tissue recovery, focus is on controlling infection, managing inflammation, and ensuring wound closure. Beneath the surface—anatomically and biologically— the extracellular matrix (ECM) is undergoing remodeling ensure long-term tissue integrity. The ECM is a dynamic, biologically active network that orchestrates the entire process of tissue repair, remodeling, and ...
Encapsulating anticancer drugs within its lipid bilayer improves drug accumulation in target tissues while reducing toxicity to healthy cells.Immunomodulatory TherapyFunctionalized DSPE-PEG-Mannose nanoparticles can modulate immune responses by interacting with mannose receptors on immune cells, contributing to novel treatments for immune-related disorders.Cell Recognition and SeparationBy ...
The continuous advancement of biomaterials has led to the development of various copolymers, among which Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) copolymers have garnered significant attention. ...
