Organogenesis, specialist in regenerative medicine, said it is acquiring NanoMatrix Inc.
NanoMatrix has developed technology to create three-dimensional scaffolds, which mimic the structure and biochemical environment of the human body's tissues. The company uses the fabrication technique known as electrospinning.
This is a method of producing and assembling nanoscale fibres to create these scaffolds.
The technique of electrospinning was originally developed by scientists at the USA's Virginia Commonwealth University.
Scaffolds can be fabricated from both natural and synthetic polymers, such as collagen or polypropylene. They can also be manufactured into ...
