In future, neurodegenerative diseases will take over cancer's place and become the major cause of death in the world, especially in developed countries. Advancements in the medical field and its facilities have led to an increase in the old age population, and thus contributing to the increase in number of people suffering from neurodegenerative diseases. Economically it is a great burden to society and the affected f Read More

Collagen is an important macromolecule of Extracellular Matrix (ECM) in bones, teeth, and temporomandibular joints. Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) interact with the components of the ECM such as collagen, proteoglycans, Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), and several proteins on behalf of variable matrix elasticity and bioactive cues. Synthetic collagen-based biomaterials could be effective scaffolds for regenerative dentistr Read More

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative, demyelinating, and chronic inflammatory disease characterized by Central Nervous System (CNS) lesions that lead to high levels of disability and severe physical and cognitive disturbances. Conventional therapies are not enough to control the neuroinflammatory process in MS and are not able to inhibit ongoing damage to the CNS. Thus, the secretome of mesenchymal stem ce Read More

Treating diseases such as Muscular Dystrophy (MD) and HIV/AIDS pose several challenges to the rapidly evolving field of regenerative medicine. Previously, stem cell therapy has been said to affect the clinical courses of HIV/AIDS and MD, but, in practice, eradication or control of these diseases was not achievable. The introduction of gene editing into stem cell therapy has stimulated HIV/AIDS and MD cell therapy resear Read More

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effect of fabrication factors on both biological and physico-chemical features of 3-dimensional (3D) printed composite scaffolds. Method: Electronic search was done according to the PRISMA guideline in PubMed and Scopus databases limited to English articles published until May 2021. Studies in which composite scaffolds were fabricated through computer-aided design and com Read More
