There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Researchers are learning more about the mechanisms of cell-scaffold interactions and tissue development. This knowledge has provided the groundwork for synthesizing sophisticated scaffolds that are able to both provide more complex biological signals to the nascent tissue and respond specifically to the biological environment. Materials that can respond to cell behavior and their biological environment are described as intelligent or bioresponsive materials.
