Functional Multi-layered Bio-scaffold by 3D printed and Electro spun biodegradable materials

Choi H.W., Keimyung University, KR

In paper, we are presenting a novel technology for the bio-scaffold fabrication. The fabricated scaffold is composed of 3 layers which include a 3D printed PLA in middle and electro spun nanofibers of PCL+Collagen on [...]

Bioextraction technologies for bioplastic and biomass hydrolysates production

Ibrahim M.H.A., Hall E., Bioextrax AB, SE

Globally, there is an increased interest in environmentally friendly bio-based alternatives to currently used chemical processes in agriculture, medicine and industry. Microorganism and its enzymes can provide safe and cost-effective technologies for different applications. One [...]

Hydrogel-based scaffolds for tissue engineering

Joshi S., Singh S.R., Alabama State University, US

Gels or hydrogels are described as the matrix of cross-linked polymers. Hydrogels are naturally a part of the body in the form of collagen, gelatin, mucous, tear films, cartilage, vitreous humor, cornea, and tendon. The [...]

3D Printed Venous Valves, Biocompatibility and Functionality

Holmes B., Nanochon LLC, George Washington University, US

3D printing has been gaining popularity as a method of creating heart valves. However, to the best of our knowledge, no one was yet able to 3D print venous valves, particularly using cells or biocompatible [...]

Development of curcuminoids oil nanoemulsions produced by high-energy methods: Microfluidization vs ultrasonication.

Espinosa-Andrews H., Paez-Hernandez G., CIATEJ, AC, MX

Turmeric curcuminoids are phytopolylphenol pigments of Curcuma longa root used in foods due to their yellow-orange bright shades and to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer activities. They are highly sensitive to pH, [...]

Electrosprayed particles derived from nano-emulsions as carriers of fish oil

Paximada P., Howarth M., Dubey B., Sheffield Hallam University, UK

High intake of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) has been proven to decrease health risks in terms of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases. Thus, the development of novel foods enriched with PUFA's is [...]
