Biodegradable polymer scaffolds with well-defined interconnected spherical pore network.
Scaffolding plays pivotal role in tissue engineering. In this work, a novel processing technique has been developed to create three-dimensional biodegradable polymer scaffolds with well-controlled interconnected spherical pores. Paraffin spheres were fabricated with a dispersion method, and were bonded together through a heat treatment to form a three-dimensional assembly in a mold. Biodegradab...
متن کاملBiodegradable PCL scaffolds with an interconnected spherical pore network for tissue engineering.
A technique for producing controlled interconnected porous structures for application as a tissue engineering scaffold is presented in this article. The technique is based on the fabrication of a template of interconnected poly(ethyl methacrylate) (PEMA) microspheres, the introduction of a biodegradable polymer, poly-epsilon-caprolactone (PCL), and the elimination of the template by a selective...
متن کاملBiodegradable composite scaffolds with an interconnected spherical network for bone tissue engineering.
Tissue engineering scaffolds are highly engineered structures that accommodate cells, facilitate their expression, and resorb to facilitate regeneration of tissue. A new technique for producing controlled pore shape and pore size interconnectivity offers promise for application as a tissue engineering scaffold. Salt particles were spheroidized in a flame and sintered to provide an interconnecti...
متن کاملMicrotubular architecture of biodegradable polymer scaffolds.
It is a relatively new approach to generate tissues with mammalian cells and scaffolds (temporary synthetic extracellular matrices). Many tissues, such as nerve, muscle, tendon, ligament, blood vessel, bone, and teeth, have tubular or fibrous bundle architectures and anisotropic properties. In this work, we have designed and fabricated highly porous scaffolds from biodegradable polymers with a ...
متن کاملFunctionalized synthetic biodegradable polymer scaffolds for tissue engineering.
Scaffolds (artificial ECMs) play a pivotal role in the process of regenerating tissues in 3D. Biodegradable synthetic polymers are the most widely used scaffolding materials. However, synthetic polymers usually lack the biological cues found in the natural extracellular matrix. Significant efforts have been made to synthesize biodegradable polymers with functional groups that are used to couple...
