Adipose Tissue Engineering: Comparing Scaffold-free and Fibrin-based Constructs
Introduction Success of adipose tissue engineering for soft tissue repair has been limited by poor cell survival and insufficient adipogenic differentiation. Although the choice of scaffold can influence these parameters, there is a limited number of studies focussing on the role of scaffolds in cell survival and. adipogenic differentiation. In this study we examined how three-dimensional scaff...
متن کاملEffect of haemodynamic variables on surgically created arteriovenous fistula flow.
BACKGROUND The immediate success and flow rate of a newly constructed arteriovenous fistula is dependent on several haemodynamic factors affecting the inflow and outflow of the fistula. METHODS In this study we evaluated the effect of preoperative arterial blood pressure, arterial inflow, subclavian venous flow, and operative venous outflow resistance on the immediate success, with special re...
متن کاملFibrin Gel as an Injectable Biodegradable Scaffold and Cell Carrier for Tissue Engineering
Due to the increasing needs for organ transplantation and a universal shortage of donated tissues, tissue engineering emerges as a useful approach to engineer functional tissues. Although different synthetic materials have been used to fabricate tissue engineering scaffolds, they have many limitations such as the biocompatibility concerns, the inability to support cell attachment, and undesirab...
متن کاملNeovascularization in an arterio-venous loop-containing tissue engineering chamber: role of NADPH oxidase
Using an in vivo arterio-venous loop-containing tissue-engineering chamber, we have created a variety of vascularized tissue blocks, including functional myocardium. The viability of the transplanted cells is limited by the rate of neovascularization in the chamber. A Nox2-containing nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase is thought to have a critical role in ischaemic angi...
متن کاملA knitted, fibrin-covered polycaprolactone scaffold for tissue engineering of the aortic valve.
State-of-the-art tissue engineered heart valves are not strong enough to withstand aortic blood pressure levels. When a strong and slowly degrading scaffold is used, the starting position of valvular tissue engineering is a stronger valve and seeded cells are allowed more time to create a strong extracellular matrix. A polycaprolactone knitted patch with leaflets was developed as a valvular sca...
