Collagen: scaffold for repair or execution.
The shape, cellular arrangement and the tensile strength of organs are determined by their extracellular matrix (ECM) [l]. This consists of a variety of molecules, among which fibrillar collagens and proteoglycans quantitatively predominate. The cells of the connective tissue were formerly considered to be almost metabolically inactive, but are now recognised as being an active participant in t...
متن کاملDesign and Characterisation of a Multi-Layered Collagen-Based Scaffold for Osteochondral Defect Repair
Introduction Articular cartilage is a highly specialised tissue which is organised into distinct layers that vary in both structure and composition according to distance from the surface. Cartilage has a poor ability to regenerate itself and as a result, superficial damage almost inevitably leads to the development of osteoarthritis (OA). Recently, the potential of osteochondral tissue engineer...
متن کاملAlignment of collagen fiber in knitted silk scaffold for functional massive rotator cuff repair.
Rotator cuff tear is one of the most common types of shoulder injuries, often resulting in pain and physical debilitation. Allogeneic tendon-derived decellularized matrices do not have appropriate pore size and porosity to facilitate cell infiltration, while commercially-available synthetic scaffolds are often inadequate at inducing tenogenic differentiation. The aim of this study is to develop...
متن کاملAn improved collagen scaffold for skeletal regeneration.
Bone repair and regeneration is one of the most extensively studied areas in the field of tissue engineering. All of the current tissue engineering approaches to create bone focus on intramembranous ossification, ignoring the other mechanism of bone formation, endochondral ossification. We propose to create a transient cartilage template in vitro, which could serve as an intermediate for bone f...
متن کاملMacrocyclic scaffold for the collagen triple helix.
[structure: see text] Three strands of natural collagen are linked by covalent bonds prior to their folding into a triple helix. We report on a synthetic collagen in which the strands are pendent on a rigid macrocyclic scaffold of C(3) symmetry. The scaffold confers substantial conformational stability upon the collagen triple helix and makes its folding independent of concentration, both desir...
