among the synthetic polymers, poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (phbv) microbial polyester is one of the biocompatible and biodegradable copolymers in the nanomedicine scope. phbv has key points and suitable properties to support cellular adhesion, proliferation and differentiation of nanofibers. nanofibers are noticeably employed in order to enhance the performance of biomaterials,...

Salidriside (SDS), a phenylpropanoid glycoside derived from Rhodiola rosea L, has been shown to be neuroprotective in many studies, which may be promising in nerve recovery. In this study, the neuroprotective effects of SDS on engineered nerve constructed by Schwann cells (SCs) and Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) were studied in vitro. We further investigated the effect of combinational t...

lipomatosis of the nerve, also known as fibrolipomatous hamartoma, is characterized by the infiltration of the nerve by fibro-fatty tissue. the affected nerve becomes thicker, and it simulates a mass lesion. lipomatosis usually affects the median nerve and lipomatosis of the sciatic nerve is extremely rare. magnetic resonance imaging (mri) is the key to diagnosis, and it is usually pathognomoni...

Peripheral nerve trauma results in functional loss in the innervated organ, and recovery without surgical intervention is rare. Many surgical techniques can be used for nerve repair. Among these, the tubulization technique can be highlighted: this allows regenerative factors to be introduced into the chamber. Cell therapy and tissue engineering have arisen as an alternative for stimulating and ...

Abstract Versatile strategies have been developed to construct electrospun fiber-based drug delivery systems for tissue regeneration and cancer therapy. We first introduce the construction of fiber scaffolds their various structures, as well commonly used types drugs. Then, we discuss some representative controlling by fibers, with specific emphasis on design endogenous external stimuli-respons...

Implantable devices utilizing bioengineered tissue are increasingly showing promise as viable clinical solutions. The design of bioengineered constructs is currently directed according to the results of experiments that are used to test a wide range of different combinations and spatial arrangements of biomaterials, cells and chemical factors. There is an outstanding need to accelerate the desi...

objective: the bioscaffold can be used in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. the scaffolds used in tissue engineering must have high porosity to facilitate accelerated angiogenesis for feeding cells and repelling cell waste outside the scaffold. in this experimental study, we attempted to produce lung three-dimensional scaffold and assay its effect on cell penetration and migration. ...

Current techniques in tissue engineering may offer a choice regarding the reconstructive strategies of peripheral nerves. Schwann cell cultures are to be considered an appropriate option in the reconstruction of peripheral nerve and spinal cord large defects. Schwann cells availability from peripheral nerve autografts creates a great benefit concerning their usefulness in the nervous autogenic ...
