Electronics that break down in the body could be useful in temporary medical implants and drug delivery. Cartilage Grafts for Damaged Knees Nanofiber scaffolds seeded with patient-derived stem cells could repair ravaged joints. Stretched Nerve 'Bridges' Trigger Repair The tissue creates a scaffold for nerve tissue regeneration. Specially engineered cells arrange themselves into three-dimensional microtissues. Stretchy Electrodes Wire Up Cells New kinds of bioelectrodes will help researchers study beating hearts and brain trauma. A Virus That Rebuilds Damaged Nerves Genetically engineered viruses could form a scaffold for nerve cells. An artificial scaffold helps engineered heart cells better mimic real ones. Living Legos can be directed to form tissue-like structures. A surface textured with carbon nanotubes could encourage cells to grow. [1]
