Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation of poly(glycolic acid) bonded fiber structures for cell attachment and transplantation.
TL;DR: A novel method was developed to prepare three-dimensional structures with desired shapes used as templates for cell transplantation that are highly porous with large surface/volume and provide the necessary space for attachment and proliferation of the transplanted cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tissue engineering by cell transplantation using degradable polymer substrates.
Linda G. Cima,Joseph P. Vacanti,Charles A. Vacanti,Donald E. Ingber,David J. Mooney,Robert Langer +5 more
TL;DR: This paper reviews the research in developing novel matrices for cell transplantation using bioresorbable polymers on applications to liver and cartilage as paradigms for regeneration of metabolic and structural tissue, but review the approach in the context ofcell transplantation as a whole.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical properties of dense polylactic acid structures fabricated by three dimensional printing.
Russell A. Giordano,Benjamin M. Wu,Scott W. Borland,Linda G. Cima,Emanuel M. Sachs,Michael J. Cima +5 more
TL;DR: The mechanical properties of 3D-printed PLLA parts are reported on to analyze the effects of printing conditions on mechanical and physical properties of the PLA bars.
Patent
Tissue regeneration matrices by solid free-form fabrication techniques
Linda G. Cima,Michael J. Cima +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, solid free-form techniques for making medical devices for implantation and growth of cells from polymers or polymer/inorganic composites using computer aided design are described.
Patent
Biocompatible polymer membranes and methods of preparation of three dimensional membrane structures
TL;DR: In this paper, a contour drawing of the shape of the structure, determining the dimensions of thin cross-sectional layers of a shape, forming porous polymer membranes corresponding to dimensions of the layers, and laminating the membranes together to form a three-dimensional matrix having the desired shape.
