Macroporous interconnected dextran scaffolds of controlled porosity for tissue-engineering applications.
Dextran hydrogels have been studied as drug delivery vehicles but not as scaffolds for tissue-engineering likely because previously synthesized dextran hydrogels had pores too small for cell penetration. Our goal was to create macroporous, interconnected dextran scaffolds. To this end, we took advantage of the liquid-liquid immiscibility of poly(ethylene glycol) and methacrylated dextran during...
متن کاملEngineering and Functionalization of Degradable Scaffolds for Medical Implant Applications
The treatment of bone defects is facing the situation of lacking donations for autotransplantation. As a valid approach, scaffold-based tissue engineering combines the construction of well-defined porous scaffolds with advanced cell culturing technology to guide tissue regeneration. The role for the scaffold is to provide a suitable environment with a sufficient mechanical stiffness, supports f...
متن کاملSynthesis and characterization of degradable polar hydrophobic ionic polyurethane scaffolds for vascular tissue engineering applications.
In tissue engineering, the ability to manipulate scaffold design characteristics is important to achieve functional tissue regeneration. In this study, degradable polar hydrophobic ionic polyurethane (D-PHI) porous scaffolds were synthesized using a lysine-based divinyl oligomer (DVO). Optimization studies on the DVO and D-PHI scaffold synthesis were conducted to maximize isocyanate and methacr...
متن کاملMultilayer micromolding of degradable polymer tissue engineering scaffolds
Precise surface geometrical morphologies have been shown to improve cellular proliferation, adhesion, and functionality. It has been found that cells respond strongly to feature dimensions a fraction of their size. In this paper, soft lithography techniques were applied to microfabricate polydimethylsiloxane molds with precisely controlled micro-scale patterns. Three-dimensional polycaprolacton...
متن کاملIbuprofen-Loaded CTS/nHA/nBG Scaffolds for the Applications of Hard Tissue Engineering
Background: This study addressed the development of biodegradable and biocompatible scaffolds with enhanced biomechanical characteristics. The biocompatibility and the cationic nature of chitosan (CTS) make it more effective as a bone grafting material. Methods: The hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nHA) were synthesized by hydrothermal method, and bioglass (nBG) (50% SiO2-45% CaO-5% P2O5) was synt...
