Synthetic artificial stem cell may solve the problem of cell supply and immunogenic problems. Take a llok of this PNAS paper form one of my collaborators. I think it is an open access article.

Microsphere-based scaffolds have been utilized for tissue engineering, these microsphere-based scaffolds are limited in their stiffness for applications such as bone regeneration for long bone defects. In fact, the design and fabrication of scaffolds with a porous structure and sufficient mechanical properties is one of the most important issues in bone tissue engineering.
This type of NSF fund is to support basic science mechanism (not clinical). They emphasize novel and transformative nature. They encourage the potential applicants to contact the program director before the submission.
Recent Patents on Engineering publishes full-length/mini-reviews and research articles, and guest-edited thematic issues on recent patents in the field of engineering. Current IF is 0.442. It is an open accessed journal.
Interesting articles if you have a patent or IP. This was re-published in Forbes

Great article. I have copied and pasted the ten rules here:
Rule 1: Don't Let Things Overrun
Rule 2: Let Your Speakers Know the Rules
Rule 3: Be Prepared to Give a Short Introduction
Rule 4: Write Down the Actual Start Times of the Speakers
Rule 5: Do Have a Watch
Rule 6: Communicate How Much Time is Left to the Speaker
Rule 7: Don't Be Afraid to Move on Without Questions
Rule 8: Get to the Venue Early and Be Audiovisually Aware
Rule 9: Prepare Some Questions in Advance
Rule 10: Keep Control of the Question and Answer Sessions
@ Neil Morte:
The challenges are data security, transparency, and compliance.
There are some research efforts in this exciting area, check this editorial:

In this Nature paper, the authors examined differences in the immune response between obese and lean mice with eczema. They found that obesity can alter the immune response, and how treatments for inflammatory conditions may need to account for body weight.
Great topic. Because the general public don’t understand much about scientific research, need marketing to sell the research outcomes for more funding and perhaps commercialization.
Interesting article to read. I think those rules aren’t simple. I wish they can ask some Nobel laureates to review this article and perhaps add more comments.
