Porous-based biomaterials for tissue engineering and drug delivery applications
The current research on micro-and nano-biomaterials is expected to have an enormous impact on human health care. The applications include medical devices, diagnostics, sensors, drug delivery systems, and tissue/bone engineering. Drug delivery systems should be biocompatible allowing for high payloads of drug molecules without premature drug release, be site specific for targeting delivery, and ...
متن کاملBiodegradable Polyphosphazene Biomaterials for Tissue Engineering and Delivery of Therapeutics
Degradable biomaterials continue to play a major role in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine as well as for delivering therapeutic agents. Although the chemistry of polyphosphazenes has been studied extensively, a systematic review of their applications for a wide range of biomedical applications is lacking. Polyphosphazenes are synthesized through a relatively well-known two-step reac...
متن کاملAltering macrophage and fibroblast responses with biomaterials for drug delivery, wound healing, and tissue engineering
Even with significant advances in the development of biomaterials for drug delivery, tissue engineering scaffolds, artificial organs, and other medical devices, one obstacle that remains is a limited understanding of material biocompatibility. Ultimately, the success or failure of these biomaterials depends on the extent of the wound healing and foreign body response following implantation. As ...
متن کاملBiomaterials for Cardiac Tissue Engineering
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a leading death cause in developed countries (1 of every 3 deaths in the United States in 2008) [1]. Changes in diet and habits are causing CVD to become major mortality pathologies in developing countries too [2] (they are already responsible for a 30% of the world deaths). This group of diseases constitutes a great burden for the national health systems, cons...
متن کاملPericyte-targeting drug delivery and tissue engineering
Pericytes are contractile mural cells that wrap around the endothelial cells of capillaries and venules. Depending on the triggers by cellular signals, pericytes have specific functionality in tumor microenvironments, properties of potent stem cells, and plasticity in cellular pathology. These features of pericytes can be activated for the promotion or reduction of angiogenesis. Frontier studie...
