The biomaterials temporarily replace the native ECM, providing support and instructive cues to the developing tissues. Post implantation the biomaterial degrades leaving the engineered tissue to stand on its own (Photo courtesy of Tel Aviv University).

Drug Development Advance for Treatment of Autoimmune Diseases, Chronic Inflammation Disorders

The immune system functions as the body’s protectors, defending it from intruders such as bacteria and viruses. However, to ascertain what is happening in the cell, the immune system requires information on the foreign invaders. This chore is taken on by protein complexes called immunoproteasomes. These are cylindrical complexes break down the protein structures of the intruders into fragments that can be used by the defense system.   More...
