Scaffold contraction is a common but underestimated problem in the field of tissue engineering. It becomes particularly problematic when creating anatomically complex shapes such as ear. The aim this study was to develop contraction-free biocompatible scaffold construct for ear cartilage To address aim, we used three constructs: (i) fibrin/hyaluronic acid (FB/HA) hydrogel, (ii) FB/HA hydrogel combined with collagen I/III scaffold, and (iii) cage containing surrounded by 3D-printed...
The aim of this study was to design and manufacture an easily assembled cartilage implant model for auricular reconstruction. First, the printing accuracy mechanical properties 3D-printed poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) scaffolds with varying porosities were determined assess overall material properties. Next, applicability alginate as cell carrier determined. Using optimal outcomes both experiments (in terms (bio)mechanical properties, survival, neocartilage formation, accuracy), a hybrid...
In bone tissue engineering, the intrinsic hydrophobicity and surface smoothness of three-dimensional (3D)-printed poly(ε-caprolactone) scaffolds hamper cell attachment, proliferation differentiation. This can be overcome by modifications, such as chemical modification or immobilization biologically active molecules on surface. Moreover, may alter smoothness. Whether a molecule is more effective to enhance pre-osteoblast differentiation currently unknown. Therefore, we aimed investigate...
Surgical reconstruction of cartilaginous defects remains a major challenge. In the current study, we aimed to identify an imaging strategy for development patient-specific constructs that aid in nasal deformities. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) was performed on human cadaver head find optimal MRI sequence cartilage. This subsequently used volunteer. Images both were assessed by three independent researchers determine measurement error and total segmentation time. Three dimensionally (3D)...
