Biomimetic approach to cardiac tissue engineering.
Here, we review an approach to tissue engineering of functional myocardium that is biomimetic in nature, as it involves the use of culture systems designed to recapitulate some aspects of the actual in vivo environment. To mimic the capillary network, subpopulations of neonatal rat heart cells were cultured on a highly porous elastomer scaffold with a parallel array of channels perfused with cu...
متن کاملManufacturing a Biomimetic Biorecator in Cardiac Tissue Engineering
Introduction: The direct approach of cardiac tissue engineering is to mimic the natural tissue of heart, considering the significant role of scaffolding and mechanical simulation. Methods: To achieve this purpose, a composite Polycaprolactone (PCL)/Gelatin electrospun scaffold with a ratio of 70:30 and with the most similarities to the cardiac extracellular matrix was fabricated with aligned ...
متن کاملHydroxyapatite from Fish for Bone Tissue Engineering: A Promising Approach
Natural or synthetic hydroxyapatite (HA) has been frequently used as implant materials for orthopaedic and dental applications, showing excellent bioactivity, adequate mechanical rigidity and structure, osteoconductivity and angiogenic properties, no toxicity, and absence of inflammatory or antigenic reactions. HA can be easily synthesized or extracted from natural sources, such as bovine bone....
متن کاملA modular and supramolecular approach to bioactive scaffolds for tissue engineering.
Bioactive polymeric scaffolds are a prerequisite for the ultimate formation of functional tissues. Here, we show that supramolecular polymers based on quadruple hydrogen bonding ureido-pyrimidinone (UPy) moieties are eminently suitable for producing such bioactive materials owing to their low-temperature processability, favourable degradation and biocompatible behaviour. Particularly, the rever...
متن کاملA mathematical approach to bone tissue engineering.
Tissue engineering is becoming consolidated in the biomedical field as one of the most promising strategies in tissue repair and regenerative medicine. Within this discipline, bone tissue engineering involves the use of cell-loaded porous biomaterials, i.e. bioscaffolds, to promote bone tissue regeneration in bone defects or diseases such as osteoporosis, although it has not yet been incorporat...
