Treatment Strategies for Psychological Disorders01:24

Treatment Strategies for Psychological Disorders

756
Treatment approaches for psychological disorders fall into three main categories: psychological, biological, and sociocultural. Each approach targets different aspects of mental health, requiring varying levels of education and training.
Psychological therapies focus on modifying emotions, thoughts, and behaviors through talking, interpreting, listening, rewarding, challenging, and modeling. Clinical psychologists, counselors, and social workers commonly practice psychotherapy. Clinical...

Polymers

40.6K
The word polymer is derived from the Greek words “poly” which means “many” and “mer” which means “parts”. Polymers are long chains of molecules composed of repeating units of smaller molecules, known as monomers. They either occur naturally, such as DNA and proteins, or can be constructed synthetically, like plastics. They have varied structural characteristics, such as linear chains, branched chains, or complex networks, that contribute to the...

Epithelial Tissues and Their Functions01:23

Epithelial Tissues and Their Functions

38.4K
Epithelial tissues are large sheets of cells covering all of the surfaces of the body. These surfaces can be internal or external, for example, skin, airways, the digestive tract, the urinary system, and the reproductive system. Hollow organs and body cavities that do not connect to the body's exterior, including blood vessels and serous membranes, are lined by epithelial tissue known as the endothelium.
Epithelial tissues provide the body's first line of protection from physical,...

Functions of Connective Tissues

14.9K
Connective tissues perform a broad range of functions in the body. Their primary function is to connect and link different tissues in the body and act as packaging material between tissues. The areolar tissue, a connective tissue prototype, commonly cements various tissue types in diverse body organs. In contrast, adipose tissue cushions internal organs while insulating the body from heat loss.
Hard connective tissues, such as bones and cartilage, provide structure and support to the body.

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Spine Research

Background:

  • Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration causes widespread low back pain.
  • Current treatments for degenerative IVD face limitations in promoting endogenous regeneration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review tissue engineering strategies for endogenous regeneration of degenerative IVD.
  • To discuss functional polymers and scaffold designs for IVD repair.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on IVD tissue engineering.
  • Analysis of functional polymers and scaffold morphologies.
  • Evaluation of tissue engineering strategies for IVD regeneration.

Main Results:

  • Tissue engineering strategies show positive outcomes for IVD tissue regeneration.
  • Functional polymer scaffolds mimicking native IVD enhance biological and mechanical properties.
  • Diverse polymer types and scaffold forms are being explored.

Conclusions:

  • Tissue engineering with functional polymers is a promising therapeutic approach for degenerative IVD.
  • These strategies support both fundamental and endogenous regeneration of IVD tissues.
