Poly(caprolactone-co-trimethylenecarbonate) urethane acrylate resins for digital light processing of bioresorbable tissue engineering implants

Bioresorbable polymers for tissue engineering

Polymeric biomaterials are used as substitutes for damaged tissue and for the stimulation of tissue regeneration. One class of polymeric biomaterials are bioresorbable polymers that degrade both in vitro and in vivo and are used as a temporary support for tissue regeneration. Among the various types of bioresorbable polymers, -hydroxy acids including the different forms of poly(lactic acid) (P...

Bioresorbable Scaffolds for Cardiovascular Tissue Engineering

Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, especially in developed countries. Currently, when suitable autologous tissue is lacking, mostly non-degradable synthetic material or fixated xenogeneic grafts (e.g. heart valves) are used to restore, repair, or replace the injured cardiovascular tissues. However, these materials are associated with several disadvantages, such ...

Fabrication and Characterization of Polycaprolactone – Zeolite Y Nanocomposite for Bone Tissue Engineering

In recent years, nanoceramics have been used in scaffolds to emulate the nanocomposite with a three-dimensional structure of natural bone tissue. In this regard, polycaprolactone biopolymer is widely used as a scaffold in bone tissue engineering. The goal of this research is to produce porous scaffolds of polycaprolactone - zeolite biocomposite with suitable mechanical, bioactive and biological...

Fuzzy VIKOR Optimization for Designing High Performance Hydroxyapatite/Polycaprolactone Scaffolds for Hard Tissue Engineering

Electrospun biocompatible Gelatin-Chitosan/Polycaprolactone/Hydroxyapatite nanocomposite scaffold for bone tissue engineering

In recent years, nanocomposite scaffolds made of bioactive polymers have found multiple applications in bone tissue engineering. In this study composite nanofibrous structure of gelatin (Gel)/chitosan (Cs)-polycaprolactone (PCL) containing hydroxyapatite (HA) were fabricated using co-electrospinning process. To assay the biocompatibility and bioactivity of electrospun nanocomposite scaffolds, t...
