Method to analyze three-dimensional cell distribution and infiltration in degradable scaffolds.
Effective cell seeding throughout the tissue scaffold often determines the success of tissue-engineering products, although most current methods focus on determining the total number, not the distribution, of the cells associated with tissue-engineering constructs. The purpose of this investigation was to establish a quick, convenient, and efficient method to quantify cell survival, distributio...
متن کاملTwo and three-dimensional gene transfer from enzymatically degradable hydrogel scaffolds.
The ability to genetically modify mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) seeded inside synthetic hydrogel scaffolds would offer an alternative approach to guide MSC differentiation. In this report, we explored gene transfer to MSCs seeded on top or inside matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) degradable hydrogels that were loaded with DNA/poly(ethylene imine) (PEI) polyplexes. DNA/PEI polyplexes were encapsula...
متن کاملA Review on Application of Three Dimensional Culture and Testicular Scaffolds to Induction of in-Vitro Spermatogenesis
Introduction: Induction of in vitro spermatogenesis can be useful for infertility treatment in azoospermic patients and those undergoing chemotherapy. Different culture systems have been used to achieve this goal. This review study was performed with the aim to evaluate the application of 3D culture and testicular scaffolds in the establishment of in vitro spermatogenesis. In this review study...
متن کاملAnalysis of cell growth in three-dimensional scaffolds.
The in vitro growth of pre-osteoblasts in multi-layer, three-dimensional scaffolds was determined from experimental measurements and was compared to a mathematical model. Immediately following cell seeding, the initial cell density was uniform throughout the scaffold. After 10 days, the cell density increased from 2.1 x 10(5) cells/cm(3) to 1.3 x 10(7) cells/cm(3) at the fluid-scaffold interfac...
متن کاملIncreased Osteogenic Potential of Pre-Osteoblasts on Three-Dimensional Printed Scaffolds Compared to Porous Scaffolds for Bone Regeneration
Background: One of the main challenges with conventional scaffold fabrication methods is the inability to control scaffold architecture. Recently, scaffolds with controlled shape and architecture have been fabricated using 3D-printing. Herein, we aimed to determine whether the much tighter control of microstructure of 3DP PLGA/β-TCP scaffolds is more effective in promoting osteogenesis than por...
