Bone Tissue Engineering: a Mini-Review
Despite advances in bone tissue engineering, auto grafts from intra-oral or extra-oral donor sites are still the gold standard for treatment of large craniomaxillofacial defects. Biomaterial development, application of growth factor, and stem cells, open new gateway to bone regeneration studies, but real translation from bench to bedside have not yet happened. In this review article, a number o...
متن کاملTissue engineering in periodontal regeneration: A brief review
Periodontal disease is a major public health issue and the development of effective therapies to treat the disease and regenerate periodontal tissue is an important goal of today's medicine. Regeneration of periodontal tissue is perhaps one of the most complex process to occur in the body. Langer and colleagues proposed tissue engineering as a possible technique for regenerating the lost period...
متن کاملCreation of an injectable in situ gelling native extracellular matrix for nucleus pulposus tissue engineering.
BACKGROUND CONTEXT Disc degeneration is the leading cause of low back pain and is often characterized by a loss of disc height, resulting from cleavage of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) present in the nucleus pulposus. Intact CSPGs are critical to water retention and maintenance of the nucleus osmotic pressure. Decellularization of healthy nucleus pulposus tissue has the potential to...
متن کاملA review of advances in pancreatic tissue engineering
Background: A common treatment for patients with type 1 diabetes in which pancreatic beta cells are destroyed by their own immune system attack, is insulin injection. Because this treatment is not able to maintain complete glucose homeostasis compared to the function of endogenous insulin secreted by the pancreas; in the field of pancreatic tissue engineering, various treatment strategies have ...
متن کاملNotochordal cell rich nucleus pulposus tissue increases proteoglycan accumulation and promotes a healthy nucleus pulposus phenotype in human MSCs
pulposus phenotype in human MSCs +Purmessur, D; Godburn K; Abbott, RD: Schek RM; Iatridis JC +University of Vermont, Burlington VT Senior author [email protected] INTRODUCTION Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are an attractive cell source for IVD repair, yet the means of differentiating these cells to a nucleus pulposus (NP) phenotype is not clear and an area of high priority. Notochordal cel...
