Engineered protein scaffolds have received considerable attention as alternatives to antibodies in both basic and applied research, as they can offer superior biophysical properties often associated with a simpler molecular organization. Sac7d has been demonstrated as an effective scaffold for molecular recognition. Here, we used the initial L1 'flat surface' library constructed by randomizatio...

introduction: as the ability to repair cartilage tissue in body is limited, finding a suitable method for cartilage regeneration has gained the attention of many scholars. for this purpose, scaffold structure and morphology, along with cell culture on it, can be a novel method to treat cartilage injuries, osteoarthritis. methods: in this study, polyhydroxybutyrate (phb) is selected as the scaff...

Magnesium has been recently recognized as a biodegradation metal for bone substitute application. In the present work, porous magnesium-zinc scaffolds were prepared by powder metallurgical process and nano hydroxyapatite (HAP) coating on the Mg-3Zn (wt.%) scaffold was prepared by pulse electrodeposition and alkali treatment processes to improve the corrosion resistance of scaffold. The results ...

conventional transdermal drug delivery systems (tdds) have been designed for drug delivery through the skin. these systems use the permeability property of stratum corneum, the outermost surface layer of the skin. applying polymeric micro and nanofibers in drug delivery has recently attracted great attention and the electrospinning technique is the preferred method for polymeric micro-nanofiber...

background: extensive full-thickness burns require replacement of both epidermis and dermis. in designing skin replacements, the goal has been to re-create this model and make a product which has both essential components. methods: in the present study, we developed procedures for establishing confluent, stratified layers of cultured human keratinocytes on the surface of modified collagen-chito...

Objective(s)Tissue engineering is an attractive science because it promises new therapeutic strategies for repairing organs that have lost functions due to damage. The purpose of this study was to evaluate induction effect of human gingival scaffold in tissue engineering for skin regeneration.Materials and MethodsTissue samples were obtained from crown-lengthening procedures and wisdom teeth re...

background: bone marrow-derived mesenchymal cellscan transdifferentiate into cardiomyocyte cells and improveheart function after transplantation. since biomaterials canimprove the cell retention in the site, cell survival and differentiation,heart tissue engineering is now being explored as anapplied solution to support cell-based therapies and increasetheir efficacy for myocardial diseases. ch...

currently autografts are gold standards for craniomaxillofacial bone regeneration. but autografts have some limitations. bone tissue engineering has been introduced to overcome these limitations. it consist three components: stem cells, growth factor, and scaffold. scaffold provides an environment for bone growth and simplifies cell adhesion, differentiation and proliferation. in this review, a...

introduction : deproteinized bovine bone mineral (bio-oss) is a xenogenic bone substitute, widely used in maxillofacial bone regeneration. the aim of this in vitro study was to investigate its influence on the growth behavior of human osteosarcoma cell line, saos-2 culture, and compare it with the physiologic dose of dexamethasone, an inductive factor for osteoblasts. materials and methods: hum...
