Healing weaving wins Bio-Art image competition

Anyone who has had a cartilage injury knows that it heals slowly and often painfully, with joint swelling and stiffness. Frank Moutos and Farshid Guilak of Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina, are engineering tissues that could speed up cartilage repair. They have created this woven biomaterial scaffold to support the growth of new cartilage and then break down naturally.

The image was among the winners of the Bio-Art competition announced this week by the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB). This is the first time FASEB has run this image competition - the idea is to promote the biomedical research of laboratories associated with the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) or members of the 26 FASEB societies.

The winning images from this year's competition will go on display at the NIH main campus in Bethesda, Maryland, and can be viewed online at the competition web page.
