Skeletal muscle tissue engineering: strategies for volumetric constructs
Skeletal muscle tissue is characterized by high metabolic requirements, defined structure and high regenerative potential. As such, it constitutes an appealing platform for tissue engineering to address volumetric defects, as proven by recent works in this field. Several issues common to all engineered constructs constrain the variety of tissues that can be realized in vitro, principal among th...
متن کاملNeural tissue engineering: strategies for repair and regeneration.
Nerve regeneration is a complex biological phenomenon. In the peripheral nervous system, nerves can regenerate on their own if injuries are small. Larger injuries must be surgically treated, typically with nerve grafts harvested from elsewhere in the body. Spinal cord injury is more complicated, as there are factors in the body that inhibit repair. Unfortunately, a solution to completely repair...
متن کاملTissue engineering strategies for fetal myelomeningocele repair in animal models.
Myelomeningocele (MMC), the most severe form of spina bifida, is a common and devastating malformation. Over two decades of experimental work in animal models have led to the development and clinical application of open fetal surgery for the repair of the MMC defect. This approach offers improved neurofunctional outcomes and is now a clinical option for the management of prenatally diagnosed MM...
متن کاملElectrospun Nanofibers and their Application in Tissue Repair and Engineering
Introduction: Tissue engineering is the repair and replacement of damaged tissues and requires a combination of cells, growth factor and porous scaffolds. Scaffolds, as one of the main components in tissue engineering, are used as a template for tissue regeneration and induction and guidance of growth of the new and biologically active tissues. An ideal scaffold in tissue engineering, imitating...
متن کاملInnovative Strategies for Tissue Engineering
Unmet need. It is beyond dispute that human population is ageing. For the first time in history, people age 65 and over will outnumber children under age 5. This trend is emerging around the globe, and will bring several challenges for health technologies. For instance, in a few decades, the loss of health and life worldwide will be greater from chronic diseases than from infectious diseases an...
