eDentin- a tissue engineered reparative dentin

Summary Current dental restoration materials trigger immune responses and poorly replicate the natural structure of the tooth, which delays the healing process. The current technology is a novel biomaterial that more closely mimics natural dentin and thereby allows for more efficient healing of the tooth. Technology Overview Cement-based materials...

Label-free microfluidic device for cancer liquid biopsy

Summary Liquid biopsies offer a less invasive method of early cancer detection; however, circulating cancer cells are rare and difficult to detect. The current technology is a device that allows for sensitive, label-free enrichment of circulating neoplastic cells in order to facilitate the detection of cancer biomarkers from peripheral blood samples. Technology...
