Synthetic nano-fibrillar extracellular matrices with predesigned macroporous architectures
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2000-11)
Scaffolding plays a pivotal role in tissue engineering. To mimic the architecture of a natural extracellular matrix component—collagen, nona-fibrous matrices have been created with synthetic biodegradable polymers in our ...
Engineering new bone tissue in vitro on highly porous poly(Α-hydroxyl acids)/hydroxyapatite composite scaffolds
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2001-02)
Engineering new bone tissue with cells and a synthetic extracellular matrix (scaffolding) represents a new approach for the regeneration of mineralized tissues compared with the transplantation of bone (autografts or ...
Nano-fibrous scaffolding architecture selectively enhances protein adsorption contributing to cell attachment
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2003-11-01)
Tissue engineering aims at resolving problems such as donor shortage and immune rejection faced by transplantation. Scaffolds (artificial extracellular matrices) have critical roles in tissue engineering. Recently, we ...
Macroporous and nanofibrous polymer scaffolds and polymer/bone-like apatite composite scaffolds generated by sugar spheres
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-08)
Scaffolds are crucial to tissue engineering/regeneration. In this work, a technique combining a unique phase-separation process with a novel sugar sphere template leaching process has been developed to produce three-dimensional ...
Polymeric Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Biomedical Engineering Society ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2004-03)
Bone tissue engineering is a rapidly developing area. Engineering bone typically uses an artificial extracellular matrix (scaffold), osteoblasts or cells that can become osteoblasts, and regulating factors that promote ...
Increased osteoblast adhesion on nanograined hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate containing calcium titanate
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-06-01)
No abstract.
Porous poly( L -lactic acid)/apatite composites created by biomimetic process
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1999-06-15)
Highly porous poly( L -lactic acid)/apatite composites were prepared through in situ formation of carbonated apatite onto poly( L -lactic acid) foams in a simulated body fluid. The highly porous polymer foams (up to 95% ...
The brain tissue response to implanted silicon microelectrode arrays is increased when the device is tethered to the skull
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-07)
The influence of tethering silicon microelectrode arrays on the cortical brain tissue reaction was compared with that of untethered implants placed in the same location by identical means using immunoflourescent methods ...
Poly(Α-hydroxyl acids)/hydroxyapatite porous composites for bone-tissue engineering. I. Preparation and morphology
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1999-03-15)
Tissue engineering has shown great promise for creating biological alternatives for implants. In this approach, scaffolding plays a pivotal role. Hydroxyapatite mimics the natural bone mineral and has shown good bone-bonding ...
Conducting polymers grown in hydrogel scaffolds coated on neural prosthetic devices
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2004-12-15)
The conducting polymer polypyrrole (PPy) was electrochemically grown on hydrogel scaffolds deposited on the surface of microfabricated neural prosthetic devices. It is shown that the pyrrole monomer can be grown vertically ...
