Decellularized Bovine Articular Cartilage Matrix Reinforced by Carboxylated-SWCNT for Tissue Engineering Application

Abstract

Nanotubes with their unique properties have diversified mechanical and biological applications. Due to similarity of dimensions with extracellular matrix (ECM) elements

Towards the translation of electroconductive organic materials for regeneration of neural tissues

“…Neural explants in rats demonstrate efficacy of the drugs released from the modified electrodes in vitro, similarly, this efficacy is seen in the release of BDNF from PEDOT-coated electrodes in guinea pigs [325]. Despite the potential for using electric fields in a tissue engineering and regenerative medicine approach for auditory tissues, forays in this direction include: bundles of carbon nanotubes that may act as artificial hairs [326], the incorporation of carbon nanotubes in tissue scaffolds [327], [328] for ear cartilage [329], and 3D printed ear cartilage scaffolds with an embedded metal inductive coil antenna inside it (Figure 8) enabling readout of inductivelycoupled signals from cochlea-shaped electrodes (notably, so that left and right printed ears can hear in stereo) [330]. [330].…”

Decellularized Wharton’s Jelly: Biomaterial Potential for Regenerative Medicine Applications - A Mini-Review

“…Over the past few, sundry regenerative medicine (RM) and nanotechnology approaches have been proposed as potential innovative strategies for many diseases [1,2]. Biologics presently used in medicinal applications involve platelet-rich plasma, bone marrow aspirate, adipose tissue aspirate, amniotic fluid, amniotic membrane, umbilical cord-derived Wharton's jelly, and cord blood [3,4].…”
