The primary conduit for blood, known as the aorta, can weaken and rupture in a significant percentage of the population. Reinforcement of the weakened aorta can be achieved by placement of a lining device known as a stent, but that can also block conduits that branch from the aorta causing further problems. A team of researchers co-led by Mohammad Eslami, MD (pictured top), Professor of Surgery and Bioengineering, University of Pittsburgh, Director of Clinical Research, UPMC Division of Vascular Surgery, and Chief of Vascular Surgery, UPMC Mercy, and McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine affiliated faculty member David Vorp, PhD (pictured bottom), Associate Dean for Research, Swanson School of Engineering, University of Pittsburgh, John A. Swanson Professor of Bioengineering, Co-Director of the Center for Medical Innovation, and the Director of the Vascular Bioengineering Laboratory, are developing a new method to create holes in the stent, while within the patient, to allow passage of blood to branching conduits.

Collaboration Shapes Extracellular Vesicle Retention Strategy

By The McGowan Institute For Regenerative Medicine | Current News, Tissue Engineering | Comments are Closed | 18 May, 2022 | 0

Leveraging unique expertise in the spirit of collaboration is one of Carnegie Mellon University’s (CMU’s) formulas for success. Over the past three years, two CMU and McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine affiliated faculty members, Phil Campbell, PhD (pictured top), and Xi (Charlie) Ren, PhD (pictured bottom), partnered on research related to spatial control of extracellular vesicles (EVs). Their efforts have yielded a novel strategy that enables long-term EV spatial retention, a key variable to enable future tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. Read More
