A 3-decade Activity of the Central Eye Bank of Iran
Purpose: To report a 3-decade eye bank data and activity of the Central Eye Bank of Iran (CEBI). Methods: All the eye bank records in terms of procured eyes, utilized tissues, corneal transplants per capita, and indications for keratoplasty over the last 3 decades were analyzed. Results: During the last 27 years, 115 743 whole eyes were donated, among which 114 169 eyes were donated between 199...
متن کاملManufacturing a Biomimetic Biorecator in Cardiac Tissue Engineering
Introduction: The direct approach of cardiac tissue engineering is to mimic the natural tissue of heart, considering the significant role of scaffolding and mechanical simulation. Methods: To achieve this purpose, a composite Polycaprolactone (PCL)/Gelatin electrospun scaffold with a ratio of 70:30 and with the most similarities to the cardiac extracellular matrix was fabricated with aligned ...
متن کاملMesenchymal stem cells from umbilical cord tissue as potential therapeutics for cardiomyodegenerative diseases – a review
Heart failure is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. End stage disease often requires heart transplantation, which is hampered by donor organ shortage. Tissue engineering represents a promising alternative approach for cardiac repair. For the generation of artificial heart muscle tissue several cell types, scaffold materials and bioreactor designs are under investigation. In this revi...
متن کاملReinforcement of a decellularized extracellular matrix-derived hydrogel using nanofibers for cardiac tissue engineering
The role of heart disease in increasing worldwide death and the limited availability of organs for transplantation have encouraged multiple strategies to fabricate functional and implantable constructs. One of these strategies is to develop a biologically similar heart tissue scaffold, in which two types of fiber and hydrogel are commonly used. Toward this goal, taking advantage of both hydroge...
