... and devices for tissue engineering. The simulation tool developed in OpenGL assists in controlling degradation by altering the geometry and related works such as the protein and growth factor release, while predicting the future shape of the membrane is possible. For example, by placing proteins...

... engineering Tissue engineered pulmonary valve (TEPV) has been suggested as a potential approach for replacement congenitally defective pediatric heart valves. As with all heart valves, the leaflet shape during systole and diastole is essential to the normal function of PV. In this work, we present...

The adopted design...

... replacement created by tissue engineering is a promising alternative. Several research groups have tissue engineered bone [Warnke 2004] and cartilage [Chung 2007] separately. The tissue engineering of a joint, consisting of bone and cartilage is the next frontier. The present study focuses on the design...
