3D-printed vascular networks direct therapeutic angiogenesis in ischaemia
Arterial bypass grafts remain the gold standard for the treatment of end-stage ischaemic disease. Yet patients unable to tolerate the cardiovascular stress of arterial surgery or those with unreconstructable disease would benefit from grafts that are able to induce therapeutic angiogenesis. Here, we introduce an approach whereby implantation of 3D-printed grafts containing endothelial-cell-line...
متن کامل3D-Printed Biodegradable Polymeric Vascular Grafts.
Congenital heart defect interventions may benefit from the fabrication of patient-specific vascular grafts because of the wide array of anatomies present in children with cardiovascular defects. 3D printing is used to establish a platform for the production of custom vascular grafts, which are biodegradable, mechanically compatible with vascular tissues, and support neotissue formation and growth.
متن کاملA Novel Flow-Perfusion Bioreactor Supports 3D Dynamic Cell Culture
BACKGROUND Bone engineering requires thicker three-dimensional constructs than the maximum thickness supported by standard cell-culture techniques (2 mm). A flow-perfusion bioreactor was developed to provide chemotransportation to thick (6 mm) scaffolds. METHODS Polyurethane scaffolds, seeded with murine preosteoblasts, were loaded into a novel bioreactor. Control scaffolds remained in static...
متن کاملCharacterization of 3D Printed Fracture Networks
Tracer testing has been used to obtain hydraulic properties in a reservoir system and may help characterize the fracture networks inside the reservoir. Numerous studies at various scales have shown that the distribution of many fracture properties (i.e., length, displacement) follows a power law scaling with some cutoffs. Fractal dimension is useful to evaluate the geometric characteristics of ...
متن کاملPerfusion systems that minimize vascular volume fraction in engineered tissues.
This study determines the optimal vascular designs for perfusing engineered tissues. Here, "optimal" describes a geometry that minimizes vascular volume fraction (the fractional volume of a tissue that is occupied by vessels) while maintaining oxygen concentration above a set threshold throughout the tissue. Computational modeling showed that optimal geometries depended on parameters that affec...
