A Tissue-Specific Scaffold for Tissue Engineering-Based Ureteral Reconstruction

A Tissue-Specific Scaffold for Tissue Engineering-Based Ureteral Reconstruction

Terminally differentiated somatic cells can rapidly change phenotypes when they are isolated from their native tissue and cultured in vitro. This problem may become a barrier to tissue engineering-based organ reconstruction, which utilizes somatic cells. The present study was designed to validate the feasibility of maintaining the urothelial cell phenotype in a tissue-specific ureteral scaffold...

fabricating electrospun poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)/hydroxyapatite nanocomposite scaffold for tissue engineering application

. در رســاله ی حاضر، ابتدا داربست نانوالیاف سه بعدی متخلخل به روش الگوبرداری تصویری شبیه سازی شد. با استفاده از طراحی آزمایش به روش تاگوچی پس از ساخت داربست های پلی (3- هیدروکسی بوتیرات) (p3hb) شناسایی رفتار پارامترهای موادی مثل لزجت سیال پلیمر، فراریت و رسانایی الکتریکی محلول پلیمری و پارامترهای دستگاهی مثل دبی حجمی سیال، ولتاژ الکتریکی و فاصله نازل تا جمع کننده صورت گرفت. بعد از محاسبه ی خصوص...

Fabrication and characterization of nanofibrous tricuspid valve scaffold based on polyurethane for heart valve tissue engineering

Objective(s): Tissue engineering represents a new approach to solve the current complications of the heart valve replacements by offering viable valve prosthesis with growth and remodeling capability. In this project, electrospinning and dip coating techniques were used to fabricate heart valve constructs from medical grade polyurethane (PU). Methods: Fir...

Nanofibrous scaffold in tissue engineering

Dear Friends, Nanofibrous scaffolds have been a major revolution in the field of tissue engineering which may improve the health and quality of life by enhancing tissue function. These are the artificial extracellular matrices which offer natural surroundings for tissue formation. Owing to their high surface to volume ratio, nanofibrous scaffolds increase cell adhesion, proliferation, and diffe...
