Hyaluronic acid based scaffolds for tissue engineering--a review.

TL;DR: This review focuses on hyaluronic acid (HA) tissue scaffolding materials and the latest technologies behind scaffold processing are assessed and the applications of HA based scaffolds are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering: State of the art and new perspectives.

TL;DR: It is highlighted that, despite its encouraging results, the clinical approach of Bone Tissue Engineering has not taken place on a large scale yet, due to the need of more in depth studies, its high manufacturing costs and the difficulty to obtain regulatory approval.
Journal ArticleDOI

Scaffolds and cells for tissue regeneration: different scaffold pore sizes—different cell effects

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight contemporary tendencies in application of non-degradable scaffolds and stem cells in regenerative medicine with a particular focus on the pore sizes significantly affecting final recover of diseased organs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bone biomaterials and interactions with stem cells.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the state of the art of bone biomaterials and their interactions with stem cells is presented and the promising seed stem cells for bone repair are summarized, and their interaction mechanisms are discussed in detail.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biofabrication of bone tissue: approaches, challenges and translation for bone regeneration.

TL;DR: This review highlights the current research in bone biofabrication, the necessary factors for success, in addition to the current limitations affecting biofabricsation, some of which are a consequence of the limitations of the additive manufacturing technology itself.

Matrix elasticity directs stem cell lineage specification.

TL;DR: Naive mesenchymal stem cells are shown here to specify lineage and commit to phenotypes with extreme sensitivity to tissue-level elasticity, consistent with the elasticity-insensitive commitment of differentiated cell types.
Journal ArticleDOI

Scaffolds in tissue engineering bone and cartilage.

TL;DR: Research on the tissue engineering of bone and cartilage from the polymeric scaffold point of view is reviews from a biodegradable and bioresorbable perspective.
Journal ArticleDOI

Growth Factors, Matrices, and Forces Combine and Control Stem Cells

TL;DR: Multifaceted technologies are increasingly required to produce and interrogate cells ex vivo, to build predictive models, and, ultimately, to enhance stem cell integration in vivo for therapeutic benefit.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tissue-engineered autologous bladders for patients needing cystoplasty

TL;DR: Engineered bladder tissues, created with autologous cells seeded on collagen-polyglycolic acid scaffolds, and wrapped in omentum after implantation, can be used in patients who need cystoplasty.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of mean pore size on cell attachment, proliferation and migration in collagen–glycosaminoglycan scaffolds for bone tissue engineering

TL;DR: The results show that cell number was highest in scaffolds with the largest pore size, which was deemed optimal for bone tissue engineering, and an added advantage of the larger pores is a reduction in cell aggregations that develop along the edges of the scaffolds.
