Book Novel Silica polymer Composites as Porous Scaffold in Tissue Engineering

Download or read book Novel Silica polymer Composites as Porous Scaffold in Tissue Engineering written by Yawei Yuan and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 cell attachment, differentiation, and mineralized bone formation. Among them, highly porous scaffolds play a critical role in cell seeding, proliferation, and new 3D-tissue formation. In this thesis, innovative composites which combine biodegradable polymers (e.g. pectin, iota-carrageenan) and silica based gels are created. Comparing previous materials, this type material possesses appropriate mechanical properties (elastic modulus and compressive modulus) to match native bones. Excellent architectural property (e.g. porosity, pore size, interconnectivity, and pore-wall microstructures) of this type material is designed to promote cell regeneration. Consequently it is believed the innovative composites should be considered as an alternative for bone tissue engineering applications in the near future.

Book Sintered Poly bis amino Acid Ester phosphazene  Microspheres Imbued with Poly l lactide  Nanofibers

Download or read book Sintered Poly bis amino Acid Ester phosphazene Microspheres Imbued with Poly l lactide Nanofibers written by Justin L. Brown and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tissue engineering has been described as "The application of biological, chemical and engineering principles toward the repair, restoration or regeneration of living tissue using biomaterials, cells and factors alone or in combination." Musculoskeletal injuries and ailments requiring bone grafts numbers approximately 1.4 million per year in the United States. Traditionally, bone defects have been treated with biological grafts, such as bone autografts and allografts, each having their own advantages and limitations. These limitations include availability, donor site morbidity and possible disease transfer. These obstacles provided the motivation to apply the concepts of tissue engineering to bone and to develop synthetic bone graft substitutes that can repair, restore or regenerate diseased or damaged bone tissue. Presently the bone graft substitutes available provide some degree of compromise between what is ideal and what is provided. These compromises typically address either the mechanical requirements of bone or the promotion of tissue development with strategies focused on one, typically compromising the other. Developing a synthetic bone graft void of compromise was the ultimate objective beyond the work presented in this dissertation. The central hypothesis of this dissertation was that the inclusion of a highly porous nanofiber structure within the pores of sintered microspheres will elucidate and enhance the phenotype progression of preosteoblast cells through cell/scaffold interactions mediated by focal adhesion kinase signaling cascades while maintaining physicochemical characteristics suitable for bone tissue engineering applications. The composite nanofiber/microsphere scaffold demonstrated a compressive modulus and compressive strength above physiological levels found in trabecular bone, which was comparable to non-composite microsphere scaffolds. The composite nanofiber/microsphere scaffold demonstrated an increased and more desirable rate of degradation over microsphere scaffolds. The composite nanofiber/microsphere scaffold promoted activation of FAK and the osteoblast transcription factor Runx2 earlier and with greater magnitude than did the microsphere scaffolds. Osteoprogenitor cells on the composite nanofiber/microsphere scaffold illustrated improved phenotype progression as compared to those on microsphere scaffolds. Finally, the composite nanofiber/microsphere scaffold illustrated 1.8 times greater calcification as compared to the microsphere scaffolds after 21 days. These results indicate the composite nanofiber/microsphere scaffold hold great potential as a bone graft substitute.
