Nanofibrous scaffolds in biomedical applications
Nanofibrous scaffolds are artificial extracellular matrices which provide natural environment for tissue formation. In comparison to other forms of scaffolds, the nanofibrous scaffolds promote cell adhesion, proliferation and differentiation more efficiently due to having high surface to volume ratio. Although scaffolds for tissue engineering have been fabricated by various techniques but elect...
متن کاملNanofibrous Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering Applications
The discipline of tissue engineering opens up the ways for repair and regenerate damaged organs and tissues. In the current work biomimetic nanofibrous scaffolds were fabricated by electrospinning. Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) was blended with collagen and gelatin to fabricate PLLLA-collagen and PLLA-gelatin fibrous scaffolds respectively. Pure PLLA and gelatin scaffolds served as controls. All th...
متن کاملEmerging chitin and chitosan nanofibrous materials for biomedical applications.
Over the past several decades, we have witnessed significant progress in chitosan and chitin based nanostructured materials. The nanofibers from chitin and chitosan with appealing physical and biological features have attracted intense attention due to their excellent biological properties related to biodegradability, biocompatibility, antibacterial activity, low immunogenicity and wound healin...
متن کاملMechanical performance of three-dimensional bio- nanocomposite scaffolds designed with digital light processing for biomedical applications
Introduction: The need for biocompatible and bioactive scaffolds to accelerate the regeneration and repair of fractured bones has been considered for bone tissue engineering applications during recent decades. The new methods were developed to produce scaffolds to improve the tissue quality, size of cavities, control the porosity and increase the scaffold compressive strength u...
متن کاملMeniscus Tissue Engineering with Nanofibrous Scaffolds
The fibrocartilaginous menisci dwell between the articular surfaces of the knee and play a central role in joint function. Damage through trauma or degenerative changes is a common orthopaedic injury, disrupts the meniscus mechanical function, and leads to the precocious development of osteoarthritis. The current standard of treatment is removal of the damaged tissue, a procedure that does not ...
