The TE mediates implantation and is the progenitor of all placental trophoblast cell types that are functionally required for fetal growth and development. Failed blastocyst formation and implantation defects are two of the leading causes of early pregnancy loss in both assisted and... |

| Thu 22 Jan 2026 15:00 - 16:00 |  Seminar: CPM Seminar Series - Prof. Andres Garcia (Georgia Institute of Technology)Arts Two Lecture Theatre Bioengineered Hydrogels for Regenerative Medicine Hydrogels, highly hydrated cross-linked polymer networks, have emerged as powerful synthetic analogs of extracellular matrices for basic cell studies as well as promising biomaterials for regenerative medicine applications. A critical advantage of these synthetic matrices over natural networks is that bioactive functionalities, such as cell adhesive sequences and growth factors, can be incorporated in precise densities while the substrate... |
