Natural Biomaterials for Veterinary Regenerative Therapy

چکیده
Natural and synthetic biomaterials play an important role in the treatment of different diseases. Current research is trying to obtain different biomaterials with optimized characteristics. Mesenchymal stem cells with biomaterial scaffolds can provide a promising strategy for tissue engineering and cellular delivery. Because these cells are key elements of cell therapy of various diseases, evaluation and use of specific substrates is highly important. Concomitant use of stem cells and biomaterial scaffolds offer a hopeful strategy for tissue engineering. In this review, we examine the applications of the different types of natural scaffolds (collagen, fibrinogen, gelatin etc.) and evaluate their use in combination with stem cells for tissue engineering applications.

متن کاملThe challenge to improve the response of biomaterials to the physiological environment.
New applications of biomaterials often require advanced structures containing synthetic and natural components that are tuned to provide properties unique to a specific application. We discuss how structural characteristics of biomaterials, especially hydrophilic ones, can be used in conjunction with non-ideal thermodynamics to develop advanced medical systems. We show a number of examples of b...

متن کاملCurrent Concepts of Bone Regeneration in Implant Dentistry
Success of dental implants depends largely on the quality and quantity of available bone in the recipient site [1]. This however may be compromised or unavailable due to tumor, trauma or periodontal disease etc., which in turn necessitates the need for additional bone augmentation. Successful regeneration requires the essential components of cells, scaffold and signaling molecules. This is effe...
