Naturally derived polymers have been extensively used in scaffold production for cartilage tissue engineering.
To discuss the autologous serum production for cartilage tissue engineering, we compared three kinds of sera: whole blood-derived serum (WBS), platelet-containing plasma-derived serum (PCS), and plasma-derived serum (PDS), on the growth factor contents and their biological effects on human auricular chondrocytes.
Cryopreservation has been identified as a necessary barrier to overcome in the production of tissue engineered products for clinical application.
Two bioprocess simulators, Aspen BPS™ and SuperPro Designer®, were used to simulate and compare two flowsheets for production of tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells.
Fort James, which owns well-known brands like Quilted Northern, Brawny and Dixie Cups, does own some pulp plants, but it uses much of its production for its tissues.
These characteristics make 3DP an interesting method for the production of tissue engineering scaffolds.
The electrospinning of polymers has become a potentially important process for the production of tissue engineering scaffolds.
In this study collagen extracted from porcine and avian skin was compared with bovine collagen for the production of tissue engineered scaffolds.
In the current study, heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF) was embedded into polyglycolic acid (PGA)/Poly-l-latic acid (PLLA) scaffolds via subcritical CO2 exposure for the production of tissue engineered intestine (TEI).
The sequential delivery of BMP-2 and BMP-7, on the other hand, led to the highest ALP activity per cell (while suppressing proliferation) indicating the synergistic effect of using both growth factors holds promise for the production of tissue engineered bone.
