Direct patterning of mammalian cells onto porous tissue engineering substrates using agarose stamps
Molly M. Stevens,Michael Mayer,Daniel G. Anderson,Douglas B. Weibel,George M. Whitesides,Robert Langer +5 more
TL;DR: Direct stamping of human osteoblasts can be used to control the size, spacing, and geometry of patterns of cells printed on porous tissue engineering substrates and may find use in controlling the spatial invasion of scaffolds, promoting the hierarchical organization of cells, and in controlling cell-cell interactions as a step in preservation of phenotypes of cells.

Achieving the ideal properties for vascular bypass grafts using a tissue engineered approach: a review
TL;DR: The latest tissue engineering approaches used to give the favourable properties of mechanical strength, arterial compliance, low thrombogenicity, long-term resistance towards biodegradation as well as technological advances which shorten the time required for production of an implantable graft are reviewed.

Collagen-based implants reinforced by chitin fibres in a goat shank bone defect model
TL;DR: The results indicated that nHACP implants, both with and without chitin fibres, are better for repairing the defects than pure PLLA, however, only the reinforced implants showed nearly perfect recovery in 15 weeks after operation, so, the reinforced scaffold might be a candidate for bone tissue repair.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cells for tissue engineering.
TL;DR: The use of cultured stem and/or progenitor cells has the potential to improve the extent of regeneration, and also increases the likelihood that the transplanted tissue will integrate with the surrounding tissue.

An in situ forming collagen–PEG hydrogel for tissue regeneration
TL;DR: Data suggest that these collagen and PEG hydrogels exhibit the mechanical, physical and biological properties suitable for use as an injectable tissue scaffold for the treatment of a variety of simple and complex tissue defects.
