Tissue expansion is a common technique used in reconstructive surgery. Surgeons slowly stretch nearby skin to grow extra ...

Di Wang, PhD, and Y. Shrike Zhang, PhD, of the Division of Engineering in the Mass General Brigham Department of Medicine, are the lead and senior authors of a paper published in Nature Biomedical ...

Tissue expansion in bone augmentation encompasses strategies to generate surplus soft tissue prior to grafting or implant placement, thereby ensuring tension-free closure and minimising postoperative ...

A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a single-step technique for ...

4D printed hydrogel expanders use controlled buckling and low pressure to generate new soft tissue while preserving viability and activating early remodeling pathways for personalized reconstruction. ...
