Statement of Purpose: This study was focused on a collagen/cell mixture seeding method to improve the adhesion and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in tubular porous scaffolds for vascular grafts application. Recently, poly(L-lactide-co-εcaprolactone) (PLCL) copolymers have been applied as a biomaterial for vascular graft due to the high elastic property. We previously repor...

Filamentous species of Ulva are ideal for cultivation because they are robust with high growth rates and maintained across a broad range of environments. Temperate species of filamentous Ulva are commercially cultivated on nets which can be artificially 'seeded' under controlled conditions allowing for a high level of control over seeding density and consequently biomass production. This study ...

To adapt to the diversity of hybrid rice and meet its requirements precision seeding, a pneumatic seeder with adjustable seeding rates was designed in this study. The employed an independent vortex pump provide air source for seed metering device. According flow device, sub-pipeline general pipeline were designed. performances two types pipelines verified by pressure uniformity tests. results s...

The use of filling biomaterials or tissue-engineered large bone implant-coupling biocompatible materials and human bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells seems to be a promising approach to treat critical-sized bone defects. However, the cellular seeding onto and into large porous scaffolds still remains challenging since this process highly depends on the porous microstructure. Indeed, the cell...
