Transplantation repair of demyelinating lesions is restricted because relatively few cells can be introduced at only a limited number of sites. Repair could be enhanced by stimulating division of transplanted cells and by directing migration to multiple or distant lesions. This article demonstrates
A key challenge in tissue engineering is overcoming cell death in the scaffold interior due to the limited diffusion of oxygen and nutrients therein. We here hypothesize that immobilizing a gradient of a growth/survival factor from the periphery to the center of a porous scaffold would guide endothe
