Severe pathological changes to VF have causes including surgery, trauma, age-related atrophy, and radiation, and lead to partial or complete communication loss and difficulty in breathing and swallowing. VF glottal insufficiency requires injectable VF biomaterials such as hyaluronan, calcium hydroxyapatite, and autologous fat to augment VF functions. Although these biomaterials provide an effective short-term solution, significant variations in patient response and requirements of repeat reinjection remain notable challenges in clinical practice. Tissue engineering strategies have been actively explored in the search of an injectable biomaterial that possesses the capacity to match native tissue's material properties while promoting permanent tissue regeneration. This review aims to assess the current status of biomaterial development in VF tissue engineering. The focus will be on examining state-of-the-art techniques including modification with bioactive molecules, cell encapsulation, composite materials, and <i>in situ</i> crosslinking with click chemistry. We will discuss potential opportunities that can further leverage these engineering techniques in the advancement of VF injectable biomaterials.

Restoring diminished β cell mass or impaired islet function is crucial in treating DM, particularly type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). However, the regenerative capacity of islet β cells, which primarily produce insulin, is severely limited, and natural regeneration is only observed in young rodents or children. Hence, there is an urgent need to develop advanced therapeutic approaches that can regenerate endogenous β cells or replace them with stem cell (SC)-derived or engineered β-like cells. Current strategies for treating insulin-dependent DM mainly include promoting the self-replication of endogenous β cells, inducing SC differentiation, reprogramming non-β cells into β-like cells, and generating pancreatic-like organoids through cell-based intervention. In this Review, we discuss the current state of the art in these approaches, describe associated challenges, propose potential solutions, and highlight ongoing efforts to optimize β cell or islet transplantation and related clinical trials. These effective cell-based therapies will generate a sustainable source of functional β cells for transplantation and lay strong foundations for future curative treatments for DM.","PeriodicalId":23134,"journal":{"name":"Tissue Engineering.

In this review, we begin by describing the pathophysiology of coronary artery disease and in-stent restenosis. Then, we review the characteristics and materials of existing stents used in clinical practice.
