Overview on Vascular Tissue Engineering: Progress and Challenges
Today, vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis are one of the leading causes of death in the world and the prevalence of it in older societies is rising. The current treatments for repair of cardiovascular function include organ transplantation, surgical reconstruction, mechanical or artificial devices, or the use of metabolic products. Although these methods are commonly used, they did not g...
متن کاملChallenges in Cartilage Tissue Engineering
Over 27 million Americans suffer from cartilage damage with several million people affected per year. Articular cartilage or hyaline cartilage has a limited capacity to heal after damage from injury or degenerative disease. In an attempt to delay the progression of widespread damage, orthopedic surgeons routinely treat osteochondral injuries with minimally invasive surgical procedures involving...
متن کاملTissue Engineering in Dentistery
Introduction Perforation of maxillary sinus mucous membrane is of the most prevalent complication during open sinus lift surgery. Moreover, such complication can usually be managed by an absorbable membrane. As far as absorbable membranes are concerned, decellularized maxillary sinus mucous membranes, which is an extracellular matrix, can be used as a biologic scaffold and insulating membrane ...
متن کاملFiber-reinforced scaffolds in soft tissue engineering
Soft tissue engineering has been developed as a new strategy for repairing damaged or diseased soft tissues and organs to overcome the limitations of current therapies. Since most of soft tissues in the human body are usually supported by collagen fibers to form a three-dimensional microstructure, fiber-reinforced scaffolds have the advantage to mimic the structure, mechanical and biological en...
