"Study to explore nerve-like behavior of bone cells with NSF grant." *
Research by Karl Lewis Lab ; article by Lewis Lab Ph.D. candidate, Melia Matthews

Cornell biomedical engineers will use the grant to investigate how osteocytes – specialized cells that respond to and regulate forces within bones – interact with and are impacted by the part of the nervous system that controls rest related involuntary functions such as digestion and heart rate.

"New biodegradable graft could help cardiovascular patients." First-of-its-kind material expands and contracts like blood vessels and is biodegradable; new vascular cells to grow around the graft as the body absorbs it. w/ Cornell Engineering's Yadong Wang.

The first-of-its-kind material not only expands and contracts like blood vessels but is also biodegradable; new vascular cells to grow around the graft as the body absorbs it.
