  • Scientists Evaluated the Effects of Different Chemical Treatments to Tissue Transplants

    A group of scientists from Russia and Ireland found out how the quality of tissue-engineered biomeshes (biological "frame" which is used for tissue repair) is affected by various chemical fixatives (cross-linkers). Such compounds form chemical "bridges" between bio mesh polymers and change its mechanical and functional properties. It will help to select cross-linkers for the treatment of certain transplants. The research results are published in the official journal of the International Xenotransplantation Association.
