Convergence in biomedical technology

Article Abstract:

An entrepreneur and a leading researcher have given their views on the potential of convergence in biomedical technologies and they are contrasted with the historical perspective of an industry veteran. Increasing emphasis on translational research in biomedicine, together with the cross-fertilization of such fields such as biotech, nanotech and information technology, promise interdisciplinary, convergent solutions for disease prevention, screening, diagnosis, therapy, and management.

Engineering vascularized skeletal muscle tissue

Article Abstract:

The induction of endothelial vessel networks in engineered skeletal muscle tissue constructs is described using a three-dimensional multiculture system consisting of myoblasts, embryonic fibroblasts and endothelial cells coseeded on highly porous, biodegradable polymer scaffolds. The addition of embryonic fibroblasts increased the levels of vascular endothelial growth factor expression in the construct and promoted formation and stabilization of the endothelial vessels.

Nanoliter-scale synthesis of arrayed biomaterials and application to human embryonic stem cells

Article Abstract:

The nanoliter-scale synthesis of biomaterials and the identification of their communication with the cells is a faster process. At the same time the human embryonic stem cell material communications are set apart and a set of unexpected material effects are displayed which provides better control of the human embryonic stem cell behavior.
