Coaxially Electrospun Myocardial dECM‐ Based Nanofibrous Scaffolds Demonstrate Enhanced Cardiomyocyte Biocompatibility

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Our coaxial electrospinning system is capable of incorporating decellularized myocardial extracellular matrix in a core‐sheath configuration, creating nanofibrous scaffolds. These scaffolds, in turn, support the maintenance of functional cardiomyocytes adhered to the surface of these bioactive scaffolds.

Preliminary Results on Heparin-Modified Double-Layered PCL and PLA-Based Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering of Small Blood Vessels

Journal of Functional Biomaterials, 2022
Low-diameter blood vessels are challenging to replace with more traditional synthetic vascular grafts. Therefore, the obvious choice is to try to regenerate small veins and arteries through tissue-engineering approaches. However, the layered structure of

Design and Synthesis of Peptide‐Polyester Conjugates for Cell‐Mediated Scaffold Degradation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work describes polycaprolactone (PCL)‐based biomaterials engineered to degrade in response to cell‐secreted proteases. A fast‐degrading peptide (Fast) sequence is integrated into a PCL conjugate backbone to produce a biomaterial that is selectively degraded by multiple cell types compared to its scrambled control (ScrFast).

Pulsed Vacuum Arc Deposition of Nitrogen-Doped Diamond-like Coatings for Long-Term Hydrophilicity of Electrospun Poly(ε-caprolactone) Scaffolds

Membranes, 2022
The surface hydrophobicity of poly(ε-caprolactone) electrospun scaffolds prevents their interactions with cells and tissue integration. Although plasma treatment of scaffolds enhances their hydrophilicity, this effect is temporary, and the hydrophobicity

Ultrasound Morphology of Polycaprolactone Filler

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, 2017
Nowadays, cosmetic fillers are widely used and the reports of complications are rising. Therefore, the possibility to detect and identify noninvasively new fillers can provide a potent tool for managing complications. The objective of this study was to assess the ultrasound morphology of polycaprolactone.

Tracking Spatiotemporal Extracellular Matrix Evolution and Tissue Fusion in 3D Microtissues via Click Chemistry‐Based Metabolic Labelling

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Metabolic labeling of nascent proteins in 3D microtissue spheroids provides a powerful analytical approach for large‐scale tissue engineering. Incorporation of non‐canonical amino acids with fluorescent tagging enables spatiotemporal investigation of extracellular matrix deposition and its evolution during multicellular tissue development and fusion ...

Standardized Effect Measures Informing Next‐Generation Strategies for Mechanical Stimulation in Cartilage Tissue Engineering

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This systematic review quantitatively compares conventional mechanical stimulation strategies in cartilage tissue engineering across 85 heterogeneous in vitro studies. Applying standardized effect measures, meta‐analysis reveals that combined compression and shear loading optimally promotes cartilage matrix development.
