Topographic Guidance in Melt-Electrowritten Tubular Scaffolds Enhances Engineered Kidney Tubule Performance

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021
Introduction: To date, tubular tissue engineering relies on large, non-porous tubular scaffolds (Ø > 2 mm) for mechanical self-support, or smaller (Ø 150–500 μm) tubes within bulk hydrogels for studying renal transport phenomena.

Melt Electrowriting of Amphiphilic Physically Crosslinked Segmented Copolymers [PDF]

open access: yesMacromolecular Chemistry and Physics, 2021
AbstractVarious (AB)n and (ABAC)n segmented copolymers with hydrophilic and hydrophobic segments are processed via melt electrowriting (MEW). Two different (AB)n segmented copolymers composed of bisurea segments and hydrophobic poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) or hydrophilic poly(propylene oxide)‐poly(ethylene oxide)‐poly(propylene oxide) (PPO‐PEG‐PPO ...

Mimicking the Osteosarcoma Bone Microenvironment Using MEW-Printed PCL Scaffolds. [PDF]

open access: yesMacromol Biosci
PCL scaffolds exhibiting different MEW‐derived microarchitectures were coated either through physiological cell‐mediated mineralization or via direct calcium phosphate cement (CPC) deposition. Their mechanical characteristics, together with the behavior of SaOS‐2 osteosarcoma cells cultured on the scaffolds, were investigated to determine their ...
