Journal ArticleDOI
3D Bioprinting Human Chondrocytes with Nanocellulose-Alginate Bioink for Cartilage Tissue Engineering Applications
Kajsa Markstedt,Athanasios Mantas,Ivan Tournier,Héctor Martínez Ávila,Daniel Hägg,Paul Gatenholm +5 more
TL;DR: A bioink that combines the outstanding shear thinning properties of nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) with the fast cross-linking ability of alginate with the potential use of nanocellulose for 3D bioprinting of living tissues and organs is formulated.
Journal ArticleDOI
3D bioprinting of human chondrocyte-laden nanocellulose hydrogels for patient-specific auricular cartilage regeneration
TL;DR: 3D bioprinting with NFC-A bioink facilitates the biofabrication of cell-laden, patient-specific auricular constructs with an open inner structure, high cell density and homogenous cell distribution, making it a promising tool for auricular cartilage TE and many other biomedical applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical evaluation of bacterial nanocellulose as an implant material for ear cartilage replacement
Luc Nimeskern,Héctor Martínez Ávila,Johan Sundberg,Paul Gatenholm,Ralph Müller,Kathryn S. Stok +5 more
TL;DR: BNC has the capability to reach mechanical properties of relevance for ear cartilage replacement, and can be produced in patient-specific ear shapes, and shows that BNC can be fabricated into patient- specific auricular shapes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biocompatibility evaluation of densified bacterial nanocellulose hydrogel as an implant material for auricular cartilage regeneration
Héctor Martínez Ávila,Silke Schwarz,Eva-Maria Feldmann,Athanasios Mantas,Achim von Bomhard,Paul Gatenholm,Nicole Rotter +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that BNC with increased cellulose content of 17 % is a promising non-resorbable biomaterial for auricular cartilage tissue engineering, due to its similarity with auricularcartilage in terms of mechanical strength and host tissue response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel bilayer bacterial nanocellulose scaffold supports neocartilage formation in vitro and in vivo.
Héctor Martínez Ávila,Eva-Maria Feldmann,Mieke M. Pleumeekers,Luc Nimeskern,Willy Kuo,Willem Cornelis de Jong,Silke Schwarz,Ralph Müller,Jeanine Anna Alphonse Hendriks,Nicole Rotter,Gerjo J.V.M. van Osch,Kathryn S. Stok,Paul Gatenholm +12 more
TL;DR: Bayer BNC scaffolds provide a suitable environment for culture-expanded NCs as well as a combination of freshly isolated NCs and MNCs to form cartilage in vitro and in vivo as demonstrated by immunohistochemistry, biochemical and biomechanical analyses.
