Filipino Americans are the second largest Asian subgroup in United States, and were found to have highest prevalence of obesity type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared all subgroups non-Hispanic whites. In addition genetic factors, risk factors for Filipinos that contribute this health disparity include high sedentary rates fat diets. However, seriously underrepresented preventive research. Research is needed identify effective interventions reduce risks, subsequent comorbidities, premature death.The...

Blood plasma-based products have been recently utilized in different tissue engineering applications, ranging from soft repair to bone regeneration. Plasma contains fibrinogen which can be converted an insoluble fibrin-laden gel the presence of activated thrombin. In engineering, these materials serve either as a three-dimensional scaffold deliver therapeutic cells vivo or growth factor-rich supply for Unfortunately, are often mechanically weak and easily deformed, thus limiting their...
