Electrospun collagen/poly(L-lactic acid-co-ε-caprolactone) scaffolds for conjunctival tissue engineering
Conjunctival injuries are general but intractable ocular surface diseases, the sequelae of which are particularly challenging to treat. A promising therapy for conjunctival injuries is to employ biodegradable scaffolds to deliver conjunctival epithelial cells for repairing damaged or diseased conjunctiva. In the present study, an ultrathin porous nanofibrous scaffold was fabricated by using col...
متن کاملPractical preparation procedures for docetaxel-loaded nanoparticles using polylactic acid-co-glycolic acid
BACKGROUND Nanoparticles fabricated from the biodegradable and biocompatible polymer, polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA), are the most intensively investigated polymers for drug delivery systems. The objective of this study was to explore fully the development of a PLGA nanoparticle drug delivery system for alternative preparation of a commercial formulation. In our nanoparticle fabrication, ou...
متن کاملPolylactic acid-phosphate glass composite foams as scaffolds for bone tissue engineering.
Phosphate glass (PG) of the composition 0.46(CaO)-0.04(Na(2)O)-0.5(P(2)O(5)) was used as filler in poly-L-lactic acid (PLA) foams developed as degradable scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. The effect of PG on PLA was assessed both in bulk and porous composite foams. Composites with various PG content (0, 5, 10, and 20 wt %) were melt-extruded, and either compression-molded or foamed through...
متن کاملElectrospun nanostructured scaffolds for tissue engineering applications.
Despite being known for decades (since 1934), electrospinning has emerged recently as a very widespread technology to produce synthetic nanofibrous structures. These structures have morphologies and fiber diameters in a range comparable with those found in the extracellular matrix of human tissues. Therefore, nanofibrous scaffolds are intended to provide improved environments for cell attachmen...
متن کاملElectrospun Scaffolds for Heart Valve Tissue Engineering
INTRODUCTION Heart valve replacements are required for a number of heart diseases and replacements, as well as for both pediatric and adult populations. It is estimated that 2.5% of the population has valvular heart disease [1], and annually, over 250,000 people worldwide receive heart valve replacements [1]. Tissue engineering (TE) strategies hold the most promise for permanently restoring the...
