Biofabrication of tissue analogues is aspiring to become a disruptive technology capable to solve standing biomedical problems, from generation of improved tissue models for drug testing to alleviation of the shortage of organs for transplantation. Arguably, the most powerful tool of this revolution is bioprinting, understood as the assembling of cells with biomaterials in three‐dimensional structures. It is less appreciated, however, that bioprinting is not a uniform methodology, but comprises a variety of approaches. These can be broadly classified in two categories, based on the use or not of supporting biomaterials (known as “scaffolds,” usually printable hydrogels also called “bioinks”). Importantly, several limitations of scaffold‐dependent bioprinting can be avoided by the “scaffold‐free” methods. In this overview, we comparatively present these approaches and highlight the rapidly evolving scaffold‐free bioprinting, as applied to cardiovascular tissue engineering. 相似文献

We have compared several serum‐free media for the differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts and assessed the extent of differentiation in several ways including as to active tension generation capability. C2C12 cells were allowed to differentiate in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) containing Ham's F‐12 (F‐12), AIM‐V (AIM), 0.2% Ultroser‐G in DMEM (Ult‐G), and 0.1% Sericin in DMEM (Sericin), compared with in DMEM supplemented with 2% horse serum (HS) or 2% calf serum (CS). C2C12 differentiation was assessed as the extent of myotube formation, glucose metabolism, protein expression, sarcomere formation, and active tension generation. All serum‐free media examined were capable of inducing myotube formation and the expression of muscle‐specific proteins. All serum‐free media except for F‐12 gave the sarcomere structure. Active tension generation was observed for cells that differentiated in AIM and Ult‐G, but the active tension generated by C2C12 cells that differentiated in Ult‐G was only ～25% in the case of myotubes that formed in HS. The addition of Ult‐G to the AIM resulted in improvement of the active tension generation capability, the active tension generated being ～3.4× compared to that in HS. The approach for assessing muscle cell differentiation presented in this study will be suitable for other studies that involve the differentiation of muscle cells. Biotechnol.

Treatment of esophageal cancer often requires surgical procedures that involve removal. The current approaches to restore esophageal continuity however, are known to have limitations which may not result in full functional recovery. In theory, using a tissue engineered esophagus developed from the patient's own cells to replace the removed esophageal segment can be the ideal method of reconstruction. One of the key elements involved in the tissue engineering process is the scaffold which acts as a template for organization of cells and tissue development. While a number of scaffolds range from traditional non-biodegradable tubing to bioactive decellularized matrix have been proposed to engineer the esophagus in the past decade, results are still not yet favorable with many challenges relating to tissue quality need to be met improvements. The success of new esophageal tissue formation will ultimately depend on the success of the scaffold being able to meet the essential requirements specific to the esophageal tissue. Here, the design of the scaffold and its fabrication approaches are reviewed. In this paper, we review the current state of development in bioengineering the esophagus with particular emphasis on scaffold design. 相似文献

We originally investigated the suitability of chitosan scaffolds loaded with bone morphogenetic protein 6 (BMP‐6) in both stationary and dynamic conditions for cartilage tissue engineering. In the first part of the present study, ATDC5 murine chondrogenic cells were seeded in chitosan and BMP‐6 loaded chitosan scaffolds and cultured for 28 days under static conditions. In the following part, we examined the influence of dynamic cultivation conditions over BMP‐6 loaded chitosan scaffolds by using rotating bioreactor with perfusion (RCMW?). Tissue engineered constructs were characterized by 3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyl‐tetrazoliumbromide (MTT) assay, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and biochemical assays for glycosaminoglycans (GAG) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and collagen Type II quantification. At the end of 4 weeks static incubation period high levels of GAG (21.22 mg/g dry weight), DNA amounts (1.37 mg/g dry weight) and collagen Type II amounts (1.94 µg/g dry weight) were achieved for BMP‐6 loaded chitosan scaffolds compared to chitosan scaffolds. However, the results obtained from morphological observations suggested hypertrophic differentiation of ATDC5 cells in the presence of BMP‐6 under stationary conditions. The influence of mechanical stimulation appeared significantly with differentiated cells, cultured under dynamic conditions, showing the effect of retaining their phenotypes without hypertrophy.

Direct perfusion of 3D tissue engineered constructs is known to enhance osteogenesis, which can be partly attributed to enhanced nutrient and waste transport. In addition flow mediated shear stresses are known to upregulate osteogenic differentiation and mineralization. A quantification of the hydrodynamic environment is therefore crucial to interpret and compare results of in vitro bioreactor experiments. This study aims to deal with the pitfalls of numerical model preparation of highly complex 3D bone scaffold structures and aims to provide more accurate wall shear stress (WSS) estimates. µCT imaging techniques were used to reconstruct the geometry of both a titanium (Ti) and a hydroxyapatite scaffold, starting from 430 images with a resolution of 8 µm. To tackle the tradeoff between model size and mesh resolution we selected two concentric regions of interest (cubes with a volume of 1 and 3.375 mm3, respectively) for both scaffolds. A flow guidance in front of the real inlet surface of the scaffold was designed to mimic realistic inlet conditions. With a flow rate of 0.04 mL/min perfused through a 5 mm diameter scaffold at an inlet velocity of 33.95 µm/s we obtained average WSSs of 1.10 and 1.46 mPa for the 1 mm3 and the 3.375 mm3 model of the hydroxyapatite scaffold compared to 1.40 and 1.95 mPa for the 1 mm3 model and the 3.375 mm3 model of the Ti scaffold, showing the important influence of the scaffold micro‐architecture heterogeneity and the proximity of boundaries. To assess that influence we selected cubic portions, of which the WSS data were analyzed, with the same size and the same location within both 1 and 3.375 mm3 cubic models. Varying the size of the inner portions simultaneously in both model selections gives a quantification of the sensitivity to boundary neighborhood. This methodology allows to get more insight in the complex concept of tissue engineering and will likely help to understand and eventually improve the fluid‐mechanical aspects. Biotechnol.

Polymer scaffolds play an important role in three dimensional (3‐D) cell culture and tissue engineering. To best mimic the archiecture of natural extracellular matrix (ECM), a nano‐fibrous and micro‐porous combined (NFMP) scaffold was fabricated by combining phase separation and particulate leaching techniques. The NFMP scaffold possesses architectural features at two levels, including the micro‐scale pores and nano‐scale fibers. To evaluate the advantages of micro/nano combination, control scaffolds with only micro‐pores or nano‐fibers were fabricated. Cell grown in NFMP and control scaffolds were characterized with respect to morphology, proliferation rate, diffentiation and adhesion. The NFMP scaffold combined the advantages of micro‐ and nano‐scale structures. The NFMP scaffold nano‐fibers promoted neural differentiation and induced “3‐D matrix adhesion”, while the NFMP scaffold micro‐pores facilitated cell infiltration. This study represents a systematic comparison of cellular activities on micro‐only, nano‐only and micro/nano combined scaffolds, and demonstrates the unique advantages of the later. © 2010 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

目前,器官或组织移植是治疗器官衰竭或大范围组织缺损唯一长期有效的方法,但存在供体短缺、免疫排斥等问题。组织工程技术作为一种潜在的替代治疗方法,支架材料的选择是其中具有决定意义的组成部分。组织工程支架材料按其来源可分为天然及其改性修饰材料、人工合成与复合支架材料3种。组织工程目的就是修复临床上的病损组织或器官,并达到较理想的结构和功能的恢复。因此组织工程支架也必须从基本性质上具有一定的仿生化结构及功能,即\"活\"支架,这样才能彻底代替病损组织或器官。通过多种支架材料的优化组合(即材料的复合),对材料进行表面改性、制备工艺优化及添加细胞因子缓释微球等技术,模拟病损器官组织的特性及周围环境,有望打开组织工程的新局面。理想的组织工程支架应当以临床需要为根本目的,依靠材料学、分子生物学、工程学等多学科间的交叉研究,取各家之长,优化配比组合,达到仿生的目的。本课题组前期工作已经将骨髓间充质干细胞体外诱导分化为胆管上皮样细胞,并设计出左旋聚乳酸/聚己内酯共聚物(PLCL)胆道支架,内部混有包含生长因子的纳米缓释微球,供细胞因子的远期释放,支架内表面涂有基质胶/胶原混合层,且胶内加入bFGF、EGF,提供诱导因子的早期释放。将诱导细胞与PLCL胆道支架复合,制备组织工程胆管。文中综述了现存各类支架材料的研究状况,简单介绍了制备工艺、表面修饰等影响支架性能的因素,力求探索组织工程支架材料的选择策略。 相似文献

Neuroregeneration strategies involve multiple factors to stimulate nerve regeneration. Neural support with chemical and physical cues to optimize neural growth and replacing the lesion neuron and axons are crucial for designing neural scaffolds, which is a promising treatment approach. In this study, polypyrrole polymerization and its functionalization at the interface developed by glycine and gelatin for further optimization of cellular response. Nanofibrous scaffolds were fabricated by electrospinning of polyvinyl alcohol and chitosan solutions. The electrospun scaffolds were polymerized on the surface by pyrrole monomers to form an electroactive interface for further applications in neural tissue engineering. The polymerized polypyrrole showed a positive zeta potential value of 57.5 ± 5.46 mV. The in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility of the glycine and gelatin-functionalized polypyrrole-coated scaffolds were evaluated. No inflammatory cells were observed for the implanted scaffolds. Further, DAPI nucleus staining showed a superior cell attachment on the gelatin-functionalized polypyrrole-coated scaffolds. The topography and tuned positively charged polypyrrole interface with gelatin functionalization is expected to be particularly efficient physical and chemical simultaneous factors for promoting neural cell adhesion. 相似文献

Renal tissue reconstitution by the implantation of renal segments on biodegradable polymer scaffolds 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Renal units were created in vivo by transplanting isolated renal segments on three-dimensional, biodegradable polymer scaffolds. Renal segments, freshly isolated from rat kidneys, were seeded on polymer scaffolds and subcutaneously implanted in athymic mice for two and four weeks. Three-dimensional renal reconstructs were formed with glomeruli and tubules, showing a possibility of reconstituting renal structures by transplanting renal segments. 相似文献

Osteochondral tissue engineering aims to regenerate functional tissue-mimicking physiological properties of injured cartilage and its subchondral bone. Given the distinct structural and biochemical difference between bone and cartilage, bilayered scaffolds, and bioreactors are commonly employed. We present an osteochondral culture system which cocultured ATDC5 and MC3T3-E1 cells on an additive manufactured bilayered scaffold in a dual-chamber perfusion bioreactor. Also, finite element models (FEM) based on the microcomputed tomography image of the manufactured scaffold as well as on the computer-aided design (CAD) were constructed; the microenvironment inside the two FEM was studied and compared. In vitro results showed that the coculture system supported osteochondral tissue growth in terms of cell viability, proliferation, distribution, and attachment. In silico results showed that the CAD and the actual manufactured scaffold had significant differences in the flow velocity, differentiation media mixing in the bioreactor and fluid-induced shear stress experienced by the cells. This system was shown to have the desired microenvironment for osteochondral tissue engineering and it can potentially be used as an inexpensive tool for testing newly developed pharmaceutical products for osteochondral defects. 相似文献

Extracellular matrix (ECM) hydrogels are used as scaffolds to facilitate the repair and reconstruction of tissues. This study aimed to optimize the decellularization process of porcine skeletal muscle ECM and to formulate a matrix hydrogel scaffold. Five multi‐step methods (methods A–E) were used to generate acellular ECM from porcine skeletal muscle [rinsing in SDS, trypsin, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), Triton X‐100 and/or sodium deoxycholate at 4–37°C]. The resulting ECM was evaluated using haematoxylin and eosin, 4‐6‐diamidino‐2‐phenylindole (DAPI) staining, and DNA quantification. Acellular matrix was dissolved in pepsin and gelled at 37°C. Hydrogel response to temperature was observed in vivo and in vitro. ECM components were assessed by Masson, Sirius red, and alcian blue staining, and total protein content. Acellular porcine skeletal muscle exhibited a uniform translucent white appearance. No intact nuclear residue was detected by haematoxylin and eosin staining, while DAPI staining showed a few nuclei in the matrixes produced by methods B, C, and D. Method A generated a gel that was too thin for gelation. However, the matrix obtained by rinsing in 0.2% trypsin/0.1% EDTA, 0.5% Triton X‐100, and 1% Triton X‐100/0.2% sodium deoxycholate was nuclei‐free and produced a viscous solution that formed a structurally stable white jelly‐like hydrogel. The residual DNA content of this solution was 49.37 ± 0.72 ng/mg, significantly less than in fresh skeletal muscle, and decreased to 19.22 ± 0.85 ng/mg after gelation (P < 0.05). The acellular matrix was rich in collagen and glycosaminoglycan, with a total protein concentration of 64.8 ± 6.9%. An acellular ECM hydrogel from porcine skeletal muscle was efficiently produced. 相似文献

Cardiac tissue engineering presents a challenge due to the complexity of the muscle tissue and the need for multiple signals to induce tissue regeneration in vitro. We investigated the effects of compression (1 Hz, 15% strain) combined with fluid shear stress (10?2–10?1 dynes/cm2) provided by medium perfusion on the outcome of cardiac tissue engineering. Neonatal rat cardiac cells were seeded in Arginine‐Glycine‐Aspartate (RGD)‐attached alginate scaffolds, and the constructs were cultivated in a compression bioreactor. A daily, short‐term (30 min) compression (i.e., “intermittent compression”) for 4 days induced the formation of cardiac tissue with typical striation, while in the continuously compressed constructs (i.e., “continuous compression”), the cells remained spherical. By Western blot, on day 4 the expression of the gap junction protein connexin 43 was significantly greater in the “intermittent compression” constructs and the cardiomyocyte markers (α‐actinin and N‐cadherin) showed a trend of better preservation compared to the noncompressed constructs. This regime of compression had no effect on the proliferation of nonmyocyte cells, which maintained low expression level of proliferating cell nuclear antigen. Elevated secretion levels of basic fibroblast growth factor and transforming growth factor‐β in the daily, intermittently compressed constructs likely attributed to tissue formation. Our study thus establishes the formation of an improved cardiac tissue in vitro, when induced by combined mechanical signals of compression and fluid shear stress provided by perfusion. © 2012 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

This article demonstrates the application of time‐lapsed imaging and image processing to inform the supercritical processing of tissue scaffolds that are integral to many regenerative therapies. The methodology presented provides online quantitative evaluation of the complex process of scaffold formation in supercritical environments. The capabilities of the developed system are demonstrated through comparison of scaffolds formed from polymers with different molecular weight and with different venting times. Visual monitoring of scaffold fabrication enabled key events in the supercritical processing of the scaffolds to be identified including the onset of polymer plasticization, supercritical points and foam formation. Image processing of images acquired during the foaming process enabled quantitative tracking of the growing scaffold boundary that provided new insight into the nature of scaffold foaming. Further, this quantitative approach assisted in the comparison of different scaffold fabrication protocols. Observed differences in scaffold formation were found to persist, post‐fabrication as evidenced by micro x‐ray computed tomography (μ x‐ray CT) images. It is concluded that time‐lapsed imaging in combination with image processing is a convenient and powerful tool to provide insight into the scaffold fabrication process. © 2009 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.
