Polymer-based composite scaffolds for tissue engineering.
Tissue engineering may be defined as the application of biological, chemical and engineering principles toward the repair, restoration or regeneration of living tissue using biomaterials, cells and biologically active molecules alone or in combinations. The rapid restoration of tissue biomechanical function represents a great challenge, highlighting the need to mimic tissue structure and mechan...
متن کاملHighly Aligned Elastin Incorporated Collagen Fibers for Vascular Tissue Engineering
Introduction: Coronary artery disease caused by atherosclerosis is a significant health problem worldwide. In the United States alone, over 370,000 people die from the disease each year [1]. The current gold standard for the treatment of coronary artery disease is the transplantation of autologous blood vessels. However, lack of sufficient donor tissue and donor-site morbidity are major limitat...
متن کاملSynthesis and characterization of fiber reinforced polymer scaffolds based on natural fibers and polymer for bone tissue engineering application
A wide range of materials and scaffolding fabrication methods for bone tissue engineering have beenexplored recently. Fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) system appears to be a suitable system. By the exclusiveuse of biocompatible or bio-absorbable polymers and fibers, novel generation of scaffolds for applicationsin tissue engineering can be prepared. Mulberry Silk as highlighted...
متن کاملPrinciples and methods of dental nerve tissue regeneration : a review
Background and Aim Today, tissue engineering is considered a significant approach in modern medicine, which is why research in biomaterials has focused on the development of advanced scaffolding for regenerative medicine. Many natural and synthetic polymers with a variety of origins have been used to make these scaffolds or are recommended by researches. These compositions usually have the pr...
متن کاملAdvanced tissue engineering in periodontal Regeneration
The old wishes of people were to regenerate lost tissues of periodontium that this fact is achieved by gen and cell therapy .Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammation around the tooth by microbes that causes destruction of supporting structure of tissue of tooth such as alveolar bone, cementum and periodontal ligament. For treatment of periodontal diseases we can use the biomaterials which ...
