  2. 1. The role of computer-aided design and surface chemistry on Cell-scaffold interactions

    Author : Sun Yang; Anna Finne-Wistrand; Ann-Christine Albertsson; Jinshan Pan; My Hedhammar; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; amorphous degradable copolymer; aliphatic polyester; 3D fiber deposition; computer-aided design; Tween 80; BMSC; hOB; porous scaffolds;

    Abstract : Cell interactions and cell response to three dimensional scaffolds based on poly(L-lactide-co-1,5-dioxepan-2-one) [poly(LLA-co-DXO)] and poly(L-lactide-co-e-caprolactone) [poly(LLA-co-CL)] wereimprovedstudiedby increasing surface hydrophilicity and by using computer-aided scaffold design. Different amounts of Tween 80 (3, 10, 20 wt%) were mixed with the copolymer and it was found that the water contact angle decreased significantly with the amount of Tween 80. READ MORE

  4. 2. Polyester scaffold: Material design and cell-protein-material interaction

    Author : Staffan Dånmark; Anna Finne-Wistrand; Ann-Christine Albertsson; Kamal Mustafa; Pentti Tengvall; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Tissue engineering has emerged as a valid approach for the regeneration and restoration of bone defects. The concept of bone tissue engineering includes degradable scaffolds, osteogenic cells and osteoinductive growth factors either alone or in any combination of these three. READ MORE

  5. 3. Craniofacial bone tissue engineering with biomimetic constructs

    Author : Gregory Tour; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : bone regeneration;

    Abstract : The repair of bone defects and nonunions remains a significant clinical problem in orthopedic and maxillofacial reconstructive surgery. Tissue engineering offers a potential approach to overcome existing limitations related to auto- and allograft tissues. READ MORE

  6. 4. Mechanisms and improvements of cell transplantation for nerve repair

    Author : Kai-Hei Tse; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mesenchymal stem cells; microporous scaffold; biomaterials; ischemia; cell death; brain derived neurotrophic factor;

    Abstract : Trauma to the nervous system is a frequent clinical problem and new approaches to nerve repair are required. Autologous cell transplantation together with a suitable scaffold material could be used to create a bio-active artificial nerve graft to enhance regeneration. READ MORE
