Scientists develop a cellulose biosensor material for advanced tissue engineering

Thursday, December 13, 2018 - 08:00 in Physics & Chemistry

I.M. Sechenov of First Moscow State Medical University teamed up with Irish colleagues to develop a new imaging approach for tissue engineering. The team produced hybrid biosensor scaffold materials based on cellulose matrices labeled with pH- and calcium-sensitive fluorescent proteins. These materials enable visualization of the metabolism and other important biomarkers in engineered artificial tissues by microscopy. The results of the work were published in the Acta Biomaterialia journal.
