A Co-Culture Model for Nanotoxicity and Tissue Engineering Studies

Wang Y.-H., Jandhyam S., Dukhande V.V., Gao W.J., Gu H.-Y., Lai J.C.K., Lai M.B., Leung S.W., Lai J.C.K., Lai M.B., Idaho State University College of Pharmacy & Biomedical Research Institute, US

Cell model systems in vitro play vital roles in recent advances in toxicological and tissue engineering research. They are particularly versatile in facilitating signaling and related mechanistic studies. Although the 3-D cell models better simulate [...]

Preparation of multifuctional nanofibrous scaffold for tissue engineering

Yang X., Ogbolu K.R., Wang H., Stevens Institute of Technology, US

Multifucntional fibrous scaffolds can be produced via layer-by-layer deposition of electrospun nanofibers containing variable function. This scaffolds can be used in tissue engineering of complex structure by allowing specific controlled microenvironment for heterogeneous cell types.

Less Harmful Acidic Degradation of Poly(lactide-co-glycolide) Bone Tissue Engineering Scaffolds through Titania Nanoparticle Addition

Liu H., Slamovich E.B., Webster T.J., Purdue University, US

In the last ten years, biodegradable aliphatic polyesters, such as poly(lactide-co-glycolide) acid (PLGA), have attracted increasing attention for their use as scaffold materials in bone tissue engineering because their degradation products can be removed by [...]
