The present application draws attention to particulate materials derived from carbonaceous materials, such as carbon foam, as a platform technology for multiple medical procedures performed to address diverse tissue deficits and/or pathologies. The particulates are biocompatible, permissive of cell attachment and differentiation, and provide a 3-dimensional substrate that is permissive of neo-vascularization. Methods are disclosed herein whereby the application and subsequent bodily interactions with the particulate materials with or without composite materials are optimized to provide a technological platform useful for multiple regenerative procedures.

Disclosed are adjustable accommodating intraocular lenses and methods of adjusting accommodating intraocular lenses post-operatively. In one embodiment, an adjustable accommodating intraocular lens comprises an optic portion and a peripheral portion. At least one of the optic portion and the peripheral portion can be made in part of a composite material comprising an energy absorbing constituent and a plurality of expandable components. At least one of a base power and a cylindricity of the optic portion can be configured to change in response to an external energy directed at the composite material.

Disclosed herein are methods for transferring carbon nanotubes on a hydrogel scaffold. Carbon nanotubes are formed on a substrate and directly transferred onto a hydrogel surface. Carbon nanotubes transferred according to the present disclosure can be used in tissue engineering applications and electrode coating applications.

Electrically conducting, biocompatible, biodegradable tissue growth comprising graphene flakes in a polymeric matrix are provided.

A biocompatible and biodegradable carbon nanotube-based fiber capable of stimulating and sustaining cell proliferation and stimulating and sustaining nerve regeneration is disclosed herein. The biocompatible and biodegradable carbon nanotube-based fiber comprising at least one carbon nanotube; a biodegradable copolymer; and a coagulating polymer. The present disclosure also relates to a process fro producing such a fiber.
