A crimp-like microarchitecture improves tissue production in fibrous ligament scaffolds in response to mechanical stimuli.
The aim of this study was to determine the influence of a crimp-like microarchitecture within electrospun polymer scaffolds on fibroblast extracellular matrix (ECM) production when cultured under dynamic conditions. Electrospun poly(L-lactide-co-D,L-lactide) scaffolds possessing a wave pattern similar to collagen crimp (amplitude: 5 μm and wavelength: 46 μm) were seeded with bovine fibroblasts ...
متن کاملEnhanced osteoblast-like cell adhesion and proliferation using sulfonate-bearing polymeric scaffolds.
Orthopedic malfunction, degeneration, or damage remains a serious healthcare issue despite advances in medical technology. Proactive extracellular matrix (ECM)-mimetic scaffolds are being researched to orchestrate the activation of diverse osteogenic signaling cascades, facilitating osteointegration. We hypothesized that sulfonated functionalities incorporated into synthetic hydrogels would sim...
متن کاملLocal microarchitecture affects mechanical properties of deposited extracellular matrix for osteonal regeneration.
Multiple biomimetic approaches have been attempted to accelerate the regeneration of functional bone tissue. While most synthetic scaffolds are designed to mimic the architecture of trabecular bone, in the current study, cortical bone-like extracellular matrix was regenerated in vitro within organized structures. Biphasic calcium phosphate (BCaP) and hydroxyapatite (HAp) scaffolds were develope...
متن کاملBiological and MRI characterization of biomimetic ECM scaffolds for cartilage tissue regeneration.
Osteoarthritis is the most common joint disorder affecting millions of people. Most scaffolds developed for cartilage regeneration fail due to vascularization and matrix mineralization. In this study we present a chondrogenic extracellular matrix (ECM) incorporated collagen/chitosan scaffold (chondrogenic ECM scaffold) for potential use in cartilage regenerative therapy. Biochemical characteriz...
