Poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and alginate(AG) are the most promising scaffolds in the bone tissue engineering for their stable mechanical characters and three-dimensional porous structure. This study aimed to assay the in vivo osteogenesis potentials by loading the autogenous bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) on PLGA or AG. The results suggested that PLGA and AG are both ideal bone tissue engineering scaffold. BMSCs/AG has stronger osteogenesis potentials in vivo than BMSCs/PLGA.

Tissue engineering fibrous scaffolds serve as three-dimensional (3D) environmental framework by mimicking the extracellular matrix (ECM) for cells to grow. Biodegradable polycaprolactone (PCL) microfibers were fabricated to mimic the ECM as a scaffold with 7.5% (w/v) and 12.5% (w/v) concentrations. Lower PCL concentration of 7.5% (w/v) resulted in microfibers with bead defects. The average diameter of fibers increased at higher voltage and the distance of tip to collector. Further investigation was performed by the incorporation of nanosized hydroxyapatite (nHA) into microfibers. The incorporation of 10% (w/w) nHA with 7.5% (w/v) PCL solution produced submicron sized beadless fibers. The microfibrous scaffolds were evaluated using various techniques. Biodegradable PCL and nHA/PCL could be promising for tissue engineering scaffold application.

Purpose The 3 D bioprinting technology is used to prepare the tissue engineering scaffold with precise structures for the cell proliferation and differentiation. Design/methodology/approach According to the characteristics of the ideal tissue engineering scaffold, the microstructural design of the tissue engineering scaffold is carried out. The bioprinter is used to fabricate the tissue engineering scaffold with different structures and spacing sizes. Finally, the scaffold with good connectivity is achieved and used to cell PC12 culture. Findings The results show that the pore structure with the line spacing of 1 mm was the best for cell culture, and the survival rate of the inoculated cells PC12 is as high as 90%. The influence of the pore shape on the cell survival is not evidence. Originality/value This study shows that tissue engineering scaffolds prepared by 3 D bioprinting have graded structure for three-dimensional cell culture, which lays the foundation for the later detection of drug resistance.

Collagen has been widely used in biomedical field, such as scaffolds for tissue engineering. However, the rapidly biodegradation and weak mechanical strength of collagen limited its application. In this study, an insoluble collagen extracted from cattle hide was designed as scaffold to act as a three-dimensional substrate for tissue engineering. The received insoluble collagen sponge was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, mechanical testing and thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis. In addition, the degradation was performed in vitro using collagenase. The results showed that the insoluble collagen had the same triple helical domain as acid-soluble collagen, while the compression strength was greatly improved and the degradation rate was reduced. The insoluble collagen sponge with good stability should be promising in tissue engineering scaffold applications.

Three dimensional (3D) scaffolds provide the necessary support for cells to attach, proliferate and differentiate, and define the overall shape of the tissue engineered transplant. In this study, 3D honeycomb patterned chitosan/poly (L-lactic acid) composite scaffolds fabricated by an easy manipulated technique with good mechanical property and cytocompatability, as demonstrated by a previous study. Here we investigated further the in vitro cytocompatibility and spine regeneration in vivo by implanting the construct into male white rabbits for 4 and 8weeks. Results showed that such a honeycomb patterned scaffolds have a good cytocompatibilty. Also, the rabbit spinal defect was perfectly restored. These findings supported that such a 3D honeycomb patterned scaffold is an ideal candidate for the tissue engineering scaffold.
