Salt fusion: an approach to improve pore interconnectivity within tissue engineering scaffolds.
Macroporous scaffolds composed of biodegradable polymers have found extensive use as three-dimensional substrates either for in vitro cell seeding followed by transplantation, or as conductive substrates for direct implantation in vivo. Methods abound for creation of macroporous scaffolds for tissue engineering, and common methods typically employ a solid porogen within a three-dimensional poly...
متن کاملPreparation and characterization of PCL polymeric scaffolds coated with chitosan/ bioactive glass/gelatin nanoparticles using the tips methodology for bone tissue engineering
Objective(s): The present study aimed to prepare polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds with high porosity and pore interconnectivity, in order to copy the microstructure of natural bones using the thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) technique. Materials and Methods: The scaffolds were coated with chitosan (CH), bioactive glass (BG), and gelatin nanoparticles (GEL NPs) and assessed using ...
متن کاملOsteogenic Differentiation and Mineralization on Compact Multilayer nHA-PCL Electrospun Scaffolds in a Perfusion Bioreactor
Background: Monolayer electrospun scaffolds have already been used in bone tissue engineering due to their high surface-to-volume ratio, interconnectivity, similarity to natural bone extracellular matrix (ECM), and simple production. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the dynamic culture effect on osteogenic differentiation and mineralizationi into a compact cellular multilayer ...
متن کاملBiodegradable composite scaffolds with an interconnected spherical network for bone tissue engineering.
Tissue engineering scaffolds are highly engineered structures that accommodate cells, facilitate their expression, and resorb to facilitate regeneration of tissue. A new technique for producing controlled pore shape and pore size interconnectivity offers promise for application as a tissue engineering scaffold. Salt particles were spheroidized in a flame and sintered to provide an interconnecti...
متن کاملPermeability of polymeric scaffolds with defined pore micro-architecture and interconnectivity fabricated by solid freeform microprinting
Three-dimensional (3D) microprinting is a computerized fabrication technique that can produce porous objects with highly complicated pore micro-architecture using data generated by computer aided design (CAD) or other imaging modalities [1]. This technique has been used for fabrication of porous biodegradable polymeric scaffolds that are intended, by design, to have reproducible and well-define...
