Fabrication and characterization of nanofibrous tricuspid valve scaffold based on polyurethane for heart valve tissue engineering
Objective(s): Tissue engineering represents a new approach to solve the current complications of the heart valve replacements by offering viable valve prosthesis with growth and remodeling capability. In this project, electrospinning and dip coating techniques were used to fabricate heart valve constructs from medical grade polyurethane (PU). Methods: Fir...
متن کاملNew materials and technology for cell immobilization.
The choice of the most effective manner in which to operate an immobilized cell system is both complicated and, to some extent, a matter of guesswork. There is increasing awareness of the factors affecting reactor choice, and present work is aimed at making reactor performance more predictable.
متن کاملBiofunctionalization strategies on tantalum-based materials for osseointegrative applications
The use of tantalum as biomaterial for orthopedic applications is gaining considerable attention in the clinical practice because it presents an excellent chemical stability, body fluid resistance, biocompatibility, and it is more osteoconductive than titanium or cobalt-chromium alloys. Nonetheless, metallic biomaterials are commonly bioinert and may not provide fast and long-lasting interactio...
متن کاملNew Platforms For Drug Screening And Toxicology: Necessity Or Need?
The liver is the largest internal organ in the human body that is responsible for more than 500 vital functions, including biosynthesis of major plasma proteins, immunity against infectious pathogens, balancing energy metabolism and xenobiotics biotransformation (1). One of the main functions of the liver is an important role in drug metabolism (2). Since developing new drug compounds into mark...
متن کاملValidation of a new surgical risk score for heart valve surgery: VMCP.
BACKGROUND Some studies have developed scores for the assessment of surgical risk, particularly the EuroSCORE, which, however, is complex and difficult to apply. We suggest a new and simpler score, which is more appropriate for the clinical practice and for the assessment of surgical risk in patients with heart valve diseases. OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to create and validate a simple...
