Engineering Parameters in Bioreactor's Design: A Critical Aspect in Tissue Engineering

Bioreactors are important inevitable part of any tissue engineering (TE) strategy as they aid the construction of three-dimensional functional tissues. Since the ultimate aim of a bioreactor is to create a biological product, the engineering parameters, for example, internal and external mass transfer, fluid velocity, shear stress, electrical current distribution, and so forth, are worth to be ...

Bioreactors in tissue engineering.

A bioreactor can be defined as a device that uses mechanical means to influence biological processes. In tissue engineering bioreactors can be used to aid in the in vitro development of new tissue by providing biochemical and physical regulatory signals to cells and encouraging them to undergo differentiation and/or to produce extracellular matrix prior to in vivo implantation. This chapter dis...

Tissue 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 ...

Bioreactors for Liver Tissue Engineering

A cute liver failure (ALF) patients have a high risk of mortality. The elective treatment for ALF still is orthotopic liver transplantation. Donor organ scarcity and the associated high costs make transplantation possible for only about one third of the patients on the transplantation waiting list. Engineering a biological liver substitute is an interesting alternative to the traditional ALF th...
