Biomimetic poly(lactide) based fibrous scaffolds for ligament tissue engineering.
The aim of this study was to fabricate a fibrous scaffold that closely resembled the micro-structural architecture and mechanical properties of collagen fibres found in the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). To achieve this aim, fibrous scaffolds were made by electrospinning L-lactide based polymers. L-Lactide was chosen primarily due to its demonstrated biocompatibility, biodegradability and hi...
متن کاملBiomaterials and scaffolds for ligament tissue engineering.
Tissue engineering has achieved much progress in an attempt to improve and recover impaired functions of tissues and organs. Although many studies have been done, progress for tissue-engineered anterior cruciate ligaments (ACLs) has been slow due to their complex structures and mechanical properties. In this review, the ACL anatomical structure, progresses achieved, material selection, structur...

Shuang S Chen and Joachim Kohn New Jersey Center for Biomaterials, Rutgers The State University of New Jersey, Piscataway, New Jersey 08854, United States. Statement of Purpose: Large bone defects resulting from trauma, tumor resection, congenital abnormalities or reconstructive surgery are challenging clinical problems that are usually treated with autografts and allografts. However, donor sit...
متن کاملDevelopment of hybrid polymer scaffolds for potential applications in ligament and tendon tissue engineering.
Fibre-based scaffolds have been widely used for tendon and ligament tissue engineering. Knitted scaffolds have been proved to favour collagenous matrix deposition which is crucial for tendon/ligament reconstruction. However, such scaffolds have the limitation of being dependent on a gel system for cell seeding, which is unstable in a dynamic environment such as the knee joint. This study develo...
