The development of cell biology, molecular biology, and material science, has been propelling biomimic tissue-engineered skins to become more sophisticated in scientificity and more simplified in practicality. In order to improve the safety, durability, elasticity, biocompatibility, and clinical efficacy of tissue-engineered skin, several powerful seed cells have already found their application...

Background: Although peripheral nerves show capacity for regeneration after injury to a certain extent, the extent of regeneration is not remarkable. Previous studies have suggested that through the production of growth factors or extracellular matrix components, mesenchymal stem cells may enhance nerve regeneration.Objectives: In the present study, the therapeutic potenc...

scaffold design has pivotal role in tissue engineering. in the present study, we modified the surface of electrospun poly(caprolactone) (pcl) nanofibers to improve their compatibility with living medium and to show the potential application of pcl nanofibers as a artificial extracellular matrix using in tissue-engineering. pcl nanofibers were fabricated by electrospinning method. to graft gelat...

The purpose of this study was to create a fibrin-based human skin substitute in vitro with epidermal and dermal component and to assess its healing potential in deep partial and full thickness burns. Fibrin scaffolds were prepared from commercial fibrin glue kits. Human fibroblasts were cultured in fibrin gel. Human keratinocytes were seeded on the top of the gel. Viability of cells was determi...
