Abstract

Front Cover: The scaffold capable of providing physical and physiological environment are fabricated using polycaprolactone (PCL)/beta‐tricalcium phosphate (β‐TCP)/decellularized bone extracellular matrix (bone dECM). The PCL/β‐TCP/Bone dECM scaffold has outstanding potential as a bone graft substitute for effective bone regeneration. This is reported by Jun‐Young Kim, Geunseon Ahn, Changhwan Kim, Jeong‐Seok Lee, In‐Gyu Lee, Sang‐Hyun An, Won‐Soo Yun, Shin‐Yoon Kim, Jin‐Hyung Shim in article number https://doi.org/10.1002/mabi.201800025.

Scaffold Fabrication Technologies and Structure/Function Properties in Bone Tissue Engineering

“…DBM‐based scaffolds can be fabricated by DBM alone or in combination with a variety of polymers and bioceramics to enhance its mechanical performance, osteogenesis, and vascularization potential. [ 88b,d,92 ]…”

“…[ 105b ] Parallel to these studies, bioprinting of dBM‐based scaffolds have received considerable attention showing that precise pore size and microporosity can allow tuning of vessel infiltration, which leads to new bone formation, as well as enhanced mechanical stability. [ 88d,92c,104d ]…”

Osteomatrix as a personalized 3D tissue-specific invasion test-bed for oral carcinoma

“…with the HCL/EDTA mixture it displayed an amorphous nature suggesting the removal of minerals. 40 The efficiency of the decellularization protocol was determined by the analysis of nuclei removal through H&E (Fig. 1D) and DAPI (Fig.…”

Multifunctional hydrogels for chronic wounds repairing

“…Hussain et al [23] developed a dopamine (DA)-modified multidomain peptide (DAP) hydrogel, in which DA bound with glutamate residues and conferred intrinsic antioxidant properties to the DAP hydrogel (Figure 4a). Kim et al [24] prepared a self-antioxidant hydrogel by incorporating antioxidant kraft lignin into gelatin (Gel) via a ring-opening reaction of the crosslinker epichlorohydrin (Figure 4b). Han et al [25] fabricated DA-grafted-Gel with excellent antioxidant properties.…”
