Biomaterials for Cardiac Tissue Engineering
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a leading death cause in developed countries (1 of every 3 deaths in the United States in 2008) [1]. Changes in diet and habits are causing CVD to become major mortality pathologies in developing countries too [2] (they are already responsible for a 30% of the world deaths). This group of diseases constitutes a great burden for the national health systems, cons...
متن کاملDesigning Smart Biomaterials for Tissue Engineering
The engineering of human tissues to cure diseases is an interdisciplinary and a very attractive field of research both in academia and the biotechnology industrial sector. Three-dimensional (3D) biomaterial scaffolds can play a critical role in the development of new tissue morphogenesis via interacting with human cells. Although simple polymeric biomaterials can provide mechanical and physical...
متن کاملBiomaterials for hollow organ tissue engineering
Tissue engineering is a rapidly advancing field that is likely to transform how medicine is practised in the near future. For hollow organs such as those found in the cardiovascular and respiratory systems or gastrointestinal tract, tissue engineering can provide replacement of the entire organ or provide restoration of function to specific regions. Larger tissue-engineered constructs often req...
متن کاملNanostructured Active Biomaterials for Tissue Engineering Applications
In recent years, considerable effort has been devoted to the design and controlled fabrication of nanostructured materials with functional properties. The layer by layer buildup of the polyelectrolyte multilayered films from oppositely charged polyelectrolytes [1] offers new opportunities for the preparation of functionalized biomaterial coatings. This technique allows the preparation of supram...
متن کاملBiomaterials and scaffolds for tissue engineering
Every day thousands of surgical procedures are performed to replace or repair tissue that has been damaged through disease or trauma. The developing field of tissue engineering (TE) aims to regenerate damaged tissues by combining cells from the body with highly porous scaffold biomaterials, which act as templates for tissue regeneration, to guide the growth of new tissue. This article describes...
