Using fibrincollagen composite hydrogel and silk for bio-inspired design of tympanic membrane grafts: A vibro-acoustic analysis
Tympanic membrane (TM) is vulnerable to a variety of middle ear diseases.In some cases, reconstruction or repair of the TM is essential for recovering the hearing.Although there are many kinds of materials and therapeutics for TM reconstruction, tissue engineering of the TM is still in its initial steps of advancement.Treatment of damaged TM is usu
