A biomimetic multi-layered collagen-based scaffold for osteochondral repair
(2014)Cartilage and osteochondral defects pose a significant challenge in orthopedics. Tissue engineering has shown promise as a potential method for the treatment of such defects; however, a long-lasting repair strategy has yet ... -
Collagen fibre orientation and dispersion govern ultimate tensile strength, stiffness and the fatigue performance of bovine pericardium
(2019)The durability of bovine pericardium leaflets employed in bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) can significantly limit the longevity of heart valve prostheses. Collagen fibres are the dominant load bearing component of bovine ... -
Collagen/pristine graphene as an electroconductive interface material for neuronal medical device applications
(2022)The growing clinical demand for electrical stimulation-based therapies requires the development of novel conductive biomaterials that balance conductivity, biocompatibility, and mechanical performance. Traditional conductive ... -
The effect of pore size on permeability and cell attachment in collagen scaffolds for tissue engineering.
(IOS Press, 2007)The permeability of scaffolds and other three-dimensional constructs used for tissue engineering applications is important as it controls the diffusion of nutrients in and waste out of the scaffold as well as influencing ... -
Incorporation of collagen and hyaluronic acid to enhance the bioactivity of fibrin-based hydrogels for nucleus pulposus regeneration
(2018)Hydrogels, such as fibrin, offer a promising delivery vehicle to introduce cells into the intervertebral disc (IVD) to regenerate damaged disc tissue as a potential treatment for low back pain. However, fibrin lacks key ... -
Significance of Crosslinking Approaches in the Development of Next Generation Hydrogels for Corneal Tissue Engineering.
(2021)Medical conditions such as trachoma, keratoconus and Fuchs endothelial dystrophy can damage the cornea, leading to visual deterioration and blindness and necessitating a cornea transplant. Due to the shortage of donor ...
