Construction of collagen scaffolds that mimic the three-dimensional architecture of specific tissues.
Every tissue and organ has its own 3-dimensional (3D) extracellular matrix (ECM) organization. Cells in a 3D bioscaffold for tissue engineering typically align new ECM components according to the bioscaffold provided. Therefore, scaffolds with a specific 3D structural design resembling the actual ECM of a particular tissue may have great potential in tissue engineering. Here, we show that, usin...
متن کاملHow to test very soft biological tissues in extension?
Mechanical properties of very soft tissues, such as brain, liver and kidney, until recently have largely escaped the attention of researchers because these tissues do not bear mechanical loads. However, developments in Computer-Integrated and Robot-Aided Surgery - in particular, the emergence of automatic surgical tools and robots - as well as advances in Virtual Reality techniques, require clo...
متن کاملEffect of Nanoclay Addition on the Properties of Polycaprolactone Nanocomposite Scaffolds Containing Adipose Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells used in Soft Tissue Engineering
Tissue-engineering scaffolds provide biological and mechanical frameworks for cell adhesion, growth, and differentiation. Nanofibrous scaffolds mimic the native extracellular matrix (ECM) and play a significant role in formation and remodeling of tissues and/or organs . One way to mimic the desired properties of fibrous ECM is adding nanoparticles into the polymer matrix. In the current study, ...
متن کاملNovel 3D electrospun scaffolds with fibers oriented randomly and evenly in three dimensions to closely mimic the unique architectures of extracellular matrices in soft tissues: fabrication and mechanism study.
In this work, novel electrospun scaffolds with fibers oriented randomly and evenly in three dimensions (3D) including in the thickness direction were developed based on the principle of electrostatic repulsion. This unique structure is different from most electrospun scaffolds with fibers oriented mainly in one direction. The structure of novel 3D scaffolds could more closely mimic the 3D rando...
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...
