Fibrin gel as a three dimensional matrix in cardiovascular tissue engineering

Cardiovascular Tissue Engineering Based on Fibrin-Gel-Scaffolds

detection of aromatase in human endometrial tissue cultured in three-dimensional fibrin matrix in vitro

background: endometriosis is the presence of endometrial glandular and stromal cells outside of the uterine cavity. our previous study showed that in vitro culture of human endometrial tissue in a three-dimensional (3d) fibrin matrix could mimic the early stages of endometriosis with invasion gland and stroma formation and sprouting of new vessels. objective: the objective of the present study ...

Three-Dimensional Cell and Tissue Patterning in a Strained Fibrin Gel System

Techniques developed for the in vitro reproduction of three-dimensional (3D) biomimetic tissue will be valuable for investigating changes in cell function in tissues and for fabricating cell/matrix composites for applications in tissue engineering techniques. In this study, we show that the simple application of a continuous strain to a fibrin gel facilitates the development of fibril alignment...

Fibrin 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...
