Vascular Tissue Engineering: Effects of Integrating Collagen into a PCL Based Nanofiber Material
The engineering of vascular grafts is a growing field in regenerative medicine. Although numerous attempts have been made, the current vascular grafts made of polyurethane (PU), Dacron®, or Teflon® still display unsatisfying results. Electrospinning of biopolymers and native proteins has been in the focus of research to imitate the extracellular matrix (ECM) of vessels to produce a small calibe...
متن کاملCollagen–based scaffolds for skin tissue engineering
The aim of this study was to obtain four collagen based porous scaffolds and to assess their in vitro biocompatibility and biodegradability in order to use them for skin tissue engineering. We have prepared four variants of collagen-based biodegradable sponges by liophilization of type I collagen solution and three variants of collagen-agarose mixture in different ratios 2:1 (A), 1:1 (B) and 1:...
متن کاملCollagen-Based Biomaterials for Tissue Engineering Applications
Collagen is the most widely distributed class of proteins in the human body. The use of collagen-based biomaterials in the field of tissue engineering applications has been intensively growing over the past decades. Multiple cross-linking methods were investigated and different combinations with other biopolymers were explored in order to improve tissue function. Collagen possesses a major adva...
متن کاملElectrospinning collagen and elastin: preliminary vascular tissue engineering.
Significant challenges must be overcome before the true benefit and economic impact of vascular tissue engineering can be fully realized. Toward that end, we have pioneered the electrospinning of micro- and nano-fibrous scaffoldings from the natural polymers collagen and elastin and applied these to development of biomimicking vascular tissue engineered constructs. The vascular wall composition...
متن کاملHighly Aligned Elastin Incorporated Collagen Fibers for Vascular Tissue Engineering
Introduction: Coronary artery disease caused by atherosclerosis is a significant health problem worldwide. In the United States alone, over 370,000 people die from the disease each year [1]. The current gold standard for the treatment of coronary artery disease is the transplantation of autologous blood vessels. However, lack of sufficient donor tissue and donor-site morbidity are major limitat...
