Engineering alginate as bioink for bioprinting.
Recent advances in three-dimensional (3-D) printing offer an excellent opportunity to address critical challenges faced by current tissue engineering approaches. Alginate hydrogels have been used extensively as bioinks for 3-D bioprinting. However, most previous research has focused on native alginates with limited degradation. The application of oxidized alginates with controlled degradation i...
متن کاملPEG-penetrated chitosan–alginate co-polysaccharide-based partially and fully cross-linked hydrogels as ECM mimic for tissue engineering applications
The emerging strategy of tissue engineering for the management of end-stage organ failure and associated complications mainly relies on ECM mimicking scaffolds for neo-tissue genesis. In the current study, novel polyethylene glycol interpenetrated cross-linked hydrogel scaffold based on a co-polysaccharide (PIAC) synthesized from two marine heteropolysaccharides, alginate and chitosan, was desi...
متن کامل3D Cell Culture in Alginate Hydrogels
This review compiles information regarding the use of alginate, and in particular alginate hydrogels, in culturing cells in 3D. Knowledge of alginate chemical structure and functionality are shown to be important parameters in design of alginate-based matrices for cell culture. Gel elasticity as well as hydrogel stability can be impacted by the type of alginate used, its concentration, the choi...
متن کاملEngineering cartilage or endochondral bone: a comparison of different naturally derived hydrogels.
Cartilaginous tissues engineered using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been shown to generate bone in vivo by executing an endochondral programme. This may hinder the use of MSCs for articular cartilage regeneration, but opens the possibility of using engineered cartilaginous tissues for large bone defect repair. Hydrogels may be an attractive tool in the scaling-up of such tissue engineered...
متن کاملInjectable alginate hydrogels for cell delivery in tissue engineering.
Alginate hydrogels are extremely versatile and adaptable biomaterials, with great potential for use in biomedical applications. Their extracellular matrix-like features have been key factors for their choice as vehicles for cell delivery strategies aimed at tissue regeneration. A variety of strategies to decorate them with biofunctional moieties and to modulate their biophysical properties have...
