"Polysaccharides belong to the most abundant biomaterials on earth. They form structural elements of plant and animal tissues, but many of them have also important regulatory functions towards cells, tissues and organs. Glycosaminoglycans (GAG) and other carboxylated and sulfated polysaccharides possess a bioactivity that is due to their high affinity to a plethora of proteins that belong to...

"Many biomaterials have been proposed to produce porous scaffolds, nanofibers and nanoparticles for different medical treatments and applications. Systems combining natural polymers and synthetic biodegradable polymers offer particular properties adequate for those demanding applications. Those biomaterial systems can be tailored with enhanced mechanical properties, processability,...

"Osteoarthritis, a degenerative disease of the cartilage and subchondral bone, is becoming more prevalent due to an aging world population. Although some clinical interventions are available, the solutions are often temporary due to fibrocartilage formation in the long term, which has mismatching mechanical properties. Tissue engineers have been designing osteochondral (OC) scaffolds to induce...

"[Introduction] In recent years, biomolecules have been used to functionalize the surface of scaffold materials to support tissue engineering applications. For the functionalized surface for enhancing the cell culture efficiency, peptide coating has been one of the major strategies to provide surface property mimicking the extracellular matrix (ECM). In the past days, the cell adhesion...

INTRODUCTION: Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) is characterized by the descendance of the pelvic organs due to weakening of the pelvic floor. Up to 20% of the women get recurrence after surgery, implying that surgical outcomes are poor due to suboptimal wound healing[1]. Tissue engineering has shown great potential in stimulating regeneration by combining cells, biomaterials and biochemical cues....

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease clinically characterized by motor disabilities. Current therapies are not being fully effective. Remarkably, the neuroregulatory molecules secreted by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been suggested as an alternative therapy. However, direct injection into the brain is the delivery approach that has been used in pre-clinical models....

Introduction
Go to contribution page
Current tissue engineering treatment strategies for end-stage articular cartilage fail to produce long term functional cartilage tissue. Here, melt electrowriting (MEW) is used to fabricate 3D scaffolds with micro-resolution to mimic the structural properties of the native cartilage extracellular matrix[1]. These scaffolds are activated using atmospheric-pressure plasma jet...
