Engineering Vascularized Human Adipose Tissue
Introduction Due to complications of currently available therapies, the clinical impetus to engineer adipose tissue for the correction of soft tissue defects is high. Unfortunately, poor survival of in vitro-engineered adipose tissue after transplantation is still a major hurdle for clinical use. The main reason for this poor survival is postulated to be insufficient vascularization. In this st...
متن کاملVascularized Tissue Constructs
A major challenge in tissue engineering is the lack of proper vascularization of the fabricated tissue constructs. Microscale technologies, especially microfluidic systems, provide new opportunities to overcome the challenge of developing artificial micro-vasculatures. In this chapter, the application of microfluidic systems for generating vascularized tissue constructs by using microfluidic pl...
متن کاملAdipose Tissue Engineering: Comparing Scaffold-free and Fibrin-based Constructs
Introduction Success of adipose tissue engineering for soft tissue repair has been limited by poor cell survival and insufficient adipogenic differentiation. Although the choice of scaffold can influence these parameters, there is a limited number of studies focussing on the role of scaffolds in cell survival and. adipogenic differentiation. In this study we examined how three-dimensional scaff...
متن کاملPushing the Envelope in Tissue Engineering: Ex Vivo Production of Thick Vascularized Cardiac Extracellular Matrix Constructs
Functional vascularization is a prerequisite for cardiac tissue engineering of constructs with physiological thicknesses. We previously reported the successful preservation of main vascular conduits in isolated thick acellular porcine cardiac ventricular ECM (pcECM). We now unveil this scaffold's potential in supporting human cardiomyocytes and promoting new blood vessel development ex vivo, pr...
متن کاملAutonomously vascularized cellular constructs in tissue engineering: opening a new perspective for biomedical science
In tissue engineering cell cultures play a crucial role besides the matrix materials for the end of substituting lost tissue functions. The cell itself is situated at the cross-roads leading to different orders of scale, from molecule to organism and different levels of function, from biochemistry to macrophysiology. Extensive in vitro investigations have dissected a vast amount of cellular phe...
