Book Materials Engineering for Enhanced Tissue Scaffold Mechanical Properties

Download or read book Materials Engineering for Enhanced Tissue Scaffold Mechanical Properties written by Jason W. Drexler and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: As the body's natural scaffolding is largely comprised of collagen, a significant amount of research is being conducted focused on how to engineer collagen scaffolds with properties identical to natively derived collagen. A major benefit of utilizing collagen as the source material for tissue engineering scaffolds is its bioactive chemistry and ability to support cell attachment and growth. Currently, the only commercially successful tissue engineered product, Apligraf®, utilized a collagen scaffolds to form temporary skin. Despite the benefits of collagen-based tissue engineering scaffolds, many challenges are associated with the use of these materials including low strength, low stiffness and long processing times.
