Tissue Engineering Scaffolds from Bioactive

Bioactive polymeric scaffolds for tissue engineering

A variety of engineered scaffolds have been created for tissue engineering using polymers, ceramics and their composites. Biomimicry has been adopted for majority of the three-dimensional (3D) scaffold design both in terms of physicochemical properties, as well as bioactivity for superior tissue regeneration. Scaffolds fabricated via salt leaching, particle sintering, hydrogels and lithography ...

Bioactive Glass Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering

In materials science, the ability to develop porous constructs with high mechanical strength is important for a broad range of emerging applications, including filters, catalyst support, and tissue engineering scaffolds. Particularly for orthopedic surgery, the regeneration of large bone defects in load-bearing limbs remains a challenging problem that require scaffolds that combine the strength...

Bioactive Glass and Glass-Ceramic Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering

Traditionally, bioactive glasses have been used to fill and restore bone defects. More recently, this category of biomaterials has become an emerging research field for bone tissue engineering applications. Here, we review and discuss current knowledge on porous bone tissue engineering scaffolds on the basis of melt-derived bioactive silicate glass compositions and relevant composite structures...

Biodegradable and bioactive porous polyurethanes scaffolds for bone tissue engineering

Biodegradable porous polyurethanes scaffold have themselves opportunities in service, including controlled degradation rate, no-toxic degradation products. However, polyurethanes are lack of bioactive groups, which limits their application. This review gives the common modification methods, surface functionalization and blending modification. In finally, the review puts forward to the bulk modi...
