stem cell research has obtained much prominence in recent years for its therapeutic potential in dealing with serious diseases, many of which are essentially incurable by routine therapies. mesenchymal stem cells with pluripotency and immunomodulatory properties are suitable candidates for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. today, nanofibrous scaffolds are widely used in tissue engin...

cartilage is an avascular, aneural, and alymphatic connective tissue with a limited capacity caused by low mitotic activity of its resident cells, chondrocytes. natural repair of full thickness cartilage defects usually leads to the formation of fibrocartilage with lower function and mechanical force compared with the original hyaline cartilage and further deterioration can occur. tissue engine...

background: engineering new bone tissue with cells and a synthetic extracellular matrix represents a new approach for the regeneration of mineralized tissues compared with the transplantation of bone (autografts or allografts). methods: in this study, to mimic the mineral and organic component of natural bone, hydroxapatite (ha) and gelatin (gel) composite scaffolds were prepared. the raw mater...

tissue engineering is based on three main factors including scaffolds, cells and growth factors. natural scaffolds derived from decellularized tissues and organs have been successfully used in tissue engineering. decellularization studies have shown that natural scaffolds which maintaine their main structure and properties could be a suitable tool for studying cellular behaviors and preparation...

objective: the bioscaffold can be used in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. the scaffolds used in tissue engineering must have high porosity to facilitate accelerated angiogenesis for feeding cells and repelling cell waste outside the scaffold. in this experimental study, we attempted to produce lung three-dimensional scaffold and assay its effect on cell penetration and migration. ...

Background: Tissue engineering is a developing multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary field involving the use of bioartificial implants for tissue remodeling with the target for repair and enhancing tissue or organ function. Acellular nerve has been used in experimental models as a peripheral nerve substitute. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the mechanical and histological cha...

heart failure is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. end stage disease often requires heart transplantation, which is hampered by donor organ shortage. tissue engineering represents a promising alternative approach for cardiac repair. for the generation of artificial heart muscle tissue several cell types, scaffold materials and bioreactor designs are under investigation. in this revi...
