Silk-based electrospun tubular scaffolds for tissue-engineered vascular grafts.
Electrospinning was used to fabricate non-woven nanofibrous tubular scaffolds from Bombyx mori silk fibroin using an all aqueous process. Cell studies and mechanical characterization tests were performed on the electrospun silk tubes to assess the viability of their usage in bioengineering small-diameter vascular grafts. Human endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells were successfully cultured...
متن کاملTissue Engineered Scaffolds in Regenerative Medicine
Stem cells are self-renewing cells that can be differentiated into other cell types. Conventional in vitro models for studying stem cells differentiation are usually preformed in two-dimensional (2D) cultures. The design of three-dimensional (3D) in vitro models which ideally are supposed to mimic the in vivo stem cells microenvironment is potentially useful for inducing stem cell derived tissu...
متن کاملPorous Silk Scaffolds for Delivery of Growth Factors and Stem Cells to Enhance Bone Regeneration
Stem cell-based tissue engineering shows promise for bone regeneration and requires artificial microenvironments to enhance the survival, proliferation and differentiation of the seeded cells. Silk fibroin, as a natural protein polymer, has unique properties for tissue regeneration. The present study aimed to evaluate the influence of porous silk scaffolds on rat bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) ...
متن کاملEngineered Silk Interfaces
Introduction Past experiments have already proven that silk, a natural protein produced by silkworms and spiders, exhibit intriguing physical properties such as exceptionally high moduli and toughness. Silk fibroins (SF) can be further reconstituted into ultrathin (<100 nm) films while retaining most of these properties for a wide variety of bioapplications. These ultrathin films can be further...
متن کاملMultilayered silk scaffolds for meniscus tissue engineering.
Removal of injured/damaged meniscus, a vital fibrocartilaginous load-bearing tissue, impairs normal knee function and predisposes patients to osteoarthritis. Meniscus tissue engineering solution is one option to improve outcomes and relieve pain. In an attempt to fabricate knee meniscus grafts three layered wedge shaped silk meniscal scaffold system was engineered to mimic native meniscus archi...
