A Step Forward Standardization of Biocompatibility Testing on Tissue Culture Polystyrene

Biocompatibility testing of tissue engineered products.

The discipline of Tissue Engineering has developed over the past 15–20 years as a compilation of the emerging technologies in regenerative medicine and reconstructive surgery, holding the promise of surpassing the limitations imposed by the biomaterials currently available. By utilizing the regenerative capacity of tissues it is anticipated that functional tissue analogues having the desired di...

Patterned cell culture substrates created by hot embossing of tissue culture treated polystyrene.

Patterning materials such that they elicit a different cell response in different regions would have significant implications in fields such as implantable biomaterials, in vitro cell culture and tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Moreover, the ability to pattern polymers using inexpensive, currently available processes, without the need for adding proteins or other biochemical agent...

Nos gustaría comenzar esta nueva etapa agradeciendo a Elsevier y al anterior equipo editorial su esfuerzo, su constancia y su contribución al desarrollo de la Enfermería desde que comenzaron su andadura en el año 2004. Sin duda, Enfermería Clínica ha brindando a los enfermeros y enfermeras la posibilidad de colaborar en un objetivo común: el avance de la profesión para poder ofrecer nuestra mej...

Effects of nanoimprinted patterns in tissue-culture polystyrene on cell behavior.

Tissue engineering seeks to develop functional tissues in a biomimetic environment in vitro. As the extracellular environment in vivo is composed of numerous nanostructures, fabrication of nanostructured substrates will be valuable for tissue engineering applications. In this article, we report a simple nanoimprint lithography (NIL) process to pattern nanostructures directly on tissue-culture p...
