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 ...
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 ...
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% ...
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 ...
Adsorption of catechol and comparative solutes on hydroxyapatite
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2003-08-15)
Contemporary medical and dental adhesives often have difficulty sticking to wet surfaces or weaken with long-term exposure to water. Substantial research has been dedicated to finding a means of achieving adhesion in an ...
Surface modification of neural recording electrodes with conducting polymer/biomolecule blends
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2001-08)
The interface between micromachined neural microelectrodes and neural tissue plays an important role in chronic in vivo recording. Electrochemical polymerization was used to optimize the surface of the metal electrode ...
Glassy carbon: A potential dental implant material
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1973-05)
The carbonization of certain polymers under carefully controlled conditions yields glassy carbon bodies which may have potential application in the dental profession. Considerable evidence is now available for the good ...
