Piezoelectric smart biomaterials for bone and cartilage tissue engineering
Tissues like bone and cartilage are remodeled dynamically for their functional requirements by signaling pathways. The signals are controlled by the cells and extracellular matrix and transmitted through an electrical and chemical synapse. Scaffold-based tissue engineering therapies largely disturb the natural signaling pathways, due to their rigidity towards signal conduction, despite their th...
متن کاملAligned and random nanofibrous nanocomposite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering
Aligned and random nanocomposite nanofibrous scaffolds were electrospun from polycaprolactone (PCL), poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nHA). The morphology and mechanical characteristics of the nanofibers were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy and tensile testing, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy revealed fibers with an average diameter of 123 ± 3...
متن کاملElectrospun Nanofibrous Materials for Neural Tissue Engineering
The use of biomaterials processed by the electrospinning technique has gained considerable interest for neural tissue engineering applications. The tissue engineering strategy is to facilitate the regrowth of nerves by combining an appropriate cell type with the electrospun scaffold. Electrospinning can generate fibrous meshes having fiber diameter dimensions at the nanoscale and these fibers c...
متن کاملInverted Colloidal Crystals as Tissue Engineering Scaffolds
Three-dimensional (3D) geometry actively regulates the growth of cells, communication among cells, and interactions between cells and the matrix, as well as cell differentiation pathways. Until now various methods have been utilized to generate a 3D synthetic scaffold, but rarely uniform and ordered structure could be achieved, though it has great advantages. In the course of our study, a new t...
متن کاملApproaches to neural tissue engineering using scaffolds for drug delivery.
This review seeks to give an overview of the current approaches to drug delivery from scaffolds for neural tissue engineering applications. The challenges presented by attempting to replicate the three types of nervous tissue (brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerve) are summarized. Potential scaffold materials (both synthetic and natural) and target drugs are discussed with the benefits and d...
