1. Electrospun nanofibrous structure: A novel scaffold for tissue engineeringJournal of Biomedical Materials Research · 2002 · 2,432 citations

   The architecture of an engineered tissue substitute plays an important role in modulating tissue growth. A novel poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) structure with a unique architecture produced by an electrospinning process has been developed for tissue-engineering applications. Electrospinning is a process whereby…

2. Bone Tissue Engineering: Recent Advances and ChallengesCritical Reviews in Biomedical Engineering · 2012 · 2,352 citations

   The worldwide incidence of bone disorders and conditions has trended steeply upward and is expected to double by 2020, especially in populations where aging is coupled with increased obesity and poor physical activity. Engineered bone tissue has been viewed as…

3. Biomedical applications of biodegradable polymersJournal of Polymer Science Part B Polymer Physics · 2011 · 2,212 citations

   Utilization of polymers as biomaterials has greatly impacted the advancement of modern medicine. Specifically, polymeric biomaterials that are biodegradable provide the significant advantage of being able to be broken down and removed after they have served their function. Applications are…
