877. Design and additive manufacturing of scaffolds for large-volume soft tissue engineering

Mohseni, Mina (Centre in Regenerative Medicine, Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Brisbane, QLD 4059, Australia )

poster

"Introduction: Soft tissue-engineered constructs (sTECs) require tailored dynamic changes in their structure-properties-process (SPP) relations to preserve their functionality throughout the tissue regenerative process. At the initial stages of regeneration, a highly interconnected architecture is recommended to accelerate plaque adhesion and blood clot formation. At later stages of...

881. ESSENTIAL STRUCTURE-PROPERTIES-PROCESS RELATIONS FOR SUSTAINED LARGE-VOLUME SOFT TISSUE REGENERATION

Hutmacher, Dietmar W. (Max Planck Queensland Centre on the Materials Science for Extracellular Matrices, Queensland University of Technology )

875. FLEXIBLE AND TOUGH 3D PRINTED MESHES FOR SOFT TISSUE RECONSTRUCTION

Mohseni, Mina (Centre in Regenerative Medicine, Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Brisbane, QLD 4059, Australia )

poster

Simultaneous flexibility, strength and toughness are exceptional characteristics of soft biological tissues which do not exist in man-made materials. Soft tissue-engineered meshes (sTEMs) should exhibit tissue-like mechanics and geometries for better performance and fit. However, the majority of current clinical meshes for soft tissue regeneration are conventional fabrics made by knitting or...

879. HOW TO DERIVE STABLE ACOUSTIC DROPLET EJECTION PARAMETERS FOR COMBINED MACRO AND MICRO LEVEL BIOPRINTING

Jentsch, Stefan (Department of Dental Materials and Biomaterials Research, RWTH Aachen University Hospital )

poster

"During the last decade, bioprinting technology has gradually made tremendous progress in manufacturing complex cell-laden hydrogel-based constructs especially for advanced 3D in vitro models. However, most models still lack full complexity. The combination of multiple state-of-the-art printing processes is currently expected to make up for this shortcoming and to improve the outcome after...

883. RETINA BIOFABRICATION USING NOVEL ELECTROSPUN NANOFIBROUS SCAFFOLDS AS PROSTHETIC BRUCH'S MEMBRANE

Belgio, Beatrice (Politecnico di Milano)

poster

"Introduction: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major cause of blindness worldwide, affecting 170 million people1. AMD consists in a degeneration of the central retina due to age-related changes in Bruch’s membrane (BM) and in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Currently, periodic intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drugs are the gold standard...

867. TOWARDS PHYSIOLOGICALLY RELEVANT BIOPRINTED KIDNEY IN VITRO MODELS

Addario, Gabriele (Maastricht University-MERLN institute)

poster

Chronic kidney diseases (CKD) is the twelfth leading cause of death worldwide, where patients present a gradual loss/impairment in kidney function, leading to end-stage renal disease (ESD). People suffering from ESD have limited life-saving temporal renal replacements options, such as the kidney dialysis, while donor organ transplantation is still the current gold standard, generally hampered...
