Scaffolds are physical substrates for cell attachment, proliferation, and differentiation, ultimately leading to the regeneration of tissues. They must be designed according specific biomechanical requirements, i.e., certain standards in terms mechanical properties, surface characteristics, porosity, degradability, biocompatibility. The optimal design a scaffold tissue strongly depends on both materials manufacturing processes, as well treatment. Polymeric scaffolds reinforced with...
Abstract Sodium alginate films with aloe vera extract were prepared by the casting/solvent evaporation technique. The resulting characterized differential scanning calorimetry, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, electron microscopy, and mechanical water absorption tests. in vitro degradation of was also investigated over 14 days. Results show that contributes to both enhancing thermal properties decreasing weight loss during degradation. Keywords: AlginateAloe veraIn...
ABSTRACT Three‐dimensional (3D) bioprinting comprises a group of biofabrication technologies for the additive manufacturing 3D constructs by precisely printing biocompatible materials, cells and biochemicals in predesigned spatial positions. These have been successfully applied to fabricate biodegradable with intricate architectures heterogeneous composition, assuming pivotal role field tissue engineering. However, full implementation strongly depends on development novel biomaterials...
Polycaprolactone (PCL) is widely used in tissue engineering due to its interesting properties, namely biocompatibility, biodegradability, elastic nature, availability, cost efficacy, and the approval of health authorities such as American Food Drug Administration (FDA). The PCL degradation rate not most adequate for specific applications skin regeneration hydrophobic nature bulk PCL. However, electrospun fiber meshes, their low diameters resulting high surface area, are expected exhibit a...
Abstract Materials with high stretchability and conductivity are used to fabricate stretchable electronics. Self‐healing capability four‐dimensional (4D) printability becoming increasingly important for these materials facilitate their recovery from damage endow them stimuli–response properties. However, it remains challenging design a single material that combines four strengths. Here, dually crosslinked hydrogel is developed by combining covalently acrylic acid (AAC) network Fe 3+ ions...
This paper investigates the use of PCL and PCL/PLA scaffolds produced using a novel additive biomanufacturing system called BioCell Printing. blends were prepared melt blend solvent casting techniques. Scaffolds with 0/90° architecture 350 μm pore size morphologically evaluated scanning electron microscopy atomic force microscopy. Biological tests, osteosarcoma cell line G-63, performed Alamar Blue Assay Alkaline Phosphatase Activity. Results show that Printing produces regular reproducible...
Purpose This paper aims to report a detailed study regarding the influence of process parameters on morphological/mechanical properties poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) scaffolds manufactured by using novel extrusion‐based system that is called BioExtruder. Design/methodology/approach In this authors focused investigations four parameters, namely liquefier temperature (LT), screw rotation velocity (SRV), deposition (DV) and slice thickness (ST). Scaffolds were fabricated employing three different...
The design of bioactive scaffolds with improved mechanical and biological properties is an important topic research. This paper investigates the use polymer-ceramic composite for bone tissue engineering. Different ceramic materials (hydroxyapatite (HA) β-tri-calcium phosphate (TCP)) were mixed poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL). Scaffolds different material compositions produced using extrusion-based additive manufacturing system. physically chemically assessed, considering mechanical, wettability,...
Tissue engineering, often referred to as regenerative medicine and reparative medicine, is an interdisciplinary field that necessitates the combined effort of cell biologists, engineers, material scientists, mathematicians, geneticists, clinicians toward development biological substitutes restore, maintain, or improve tissue function. It has emerged a rapidly expanding approach address organ shortage problem comprises regeneration substitution. Cells placed on/or within constructs most...
