Improved cell activity on biodegradable photopolymer scaffolds using titanate nanotube coatings

Four-order stiffness variation of laser-fabricated photopolymer biodegradable scaffolds by laser parameter modulation

“…The biocompatibility of MPExSL-fabricated structures has already been investigated by our group in previous in vitro [9] and in vivo [10] studies. Besides, elastine [11,12] and titanate nanotubes [13,14] were utilized as functional coatings on these PPF scaffolds.…”

“…The modulation of the scaffold's degradation rate by hydrolysis in 37°C DMEM is also reported. Materials Science and Engineering C 55 (2015) [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] All samples were fabricated by our fast prototyping MPExSL system/ technique.…”

Comparison of the Influence of “Solvent/Non-Solvent” Treatment for the Attachment of Signal Molecules on the Structure of Electrospun PCL and PLLA Biodegradable Scaffolds

“…Because of their specific architecture, biodegradable scaffolds are being used in tissue engineering as an extracellular matrix for support of the cell growth [12]. Moreover, their biodegradability and controllable degradation rate give an opportunity for the target drug delivery [13].…”

3D Microporous Scaffolds Manufactured via Combination of Fused Filament Fabrication and Direct Laser Writing Ablation

“…An example of 3D microstructures demonstrating the potential of the technique for the creation of interlaying complex interconnected patterns is shown in Figure 1. Employment of UV lasers preserves high-resolution spatially selective photo-crosslinking of various biomaterials; the photoinitiators must be inevitably used, commonly doping the processable material with 1 wt % [25]. Although the height of a single layer of a scaffold could be tuned, its capability of 3D fabrication becomes restricted, as the structure itself can be produced in a layer-by-layer manner only [26].…”
