3D bioprinting of novel κ-carrageenan bioinks : an algae-derived polysaccharide
Marques, Diana M. C.; Silva, João C.; Serro, Ana Paula; Cabral, Joaquim M. S.; Sanjuan-Alberte, Paola; Ferreira, Frederico C.Novel green materials not sourced from animals and with low environmental impact are becoming increasingly appealing for biomedical and cellular agriculture applications. Marine biomaterials are a rich source of structurally diverse compounds with various biological activities. Kappa-carrageenan (κ-c) is a potential candidate for tissue engineering applications due to its gelation properties, mechanical strengt...
Fabrication of Poly(-caprolactone) Scaffolds Reinforced with Cellulose Nanofibe...
Morouço, Pedro; Biscaia, Sara; Viana, Tânia; Franco, Margarida; Pereira Malça, Cândida Maria dos Santos; Mateus, Artur; Monteiro de Moura, Carla SofiaBiomaterial properties and controlled architecture of scaffolds are essential features to provide an adequate biological and mechanical support for tissue regeneration, mimicking the ingrowth tissues. In this study, a bioextrusion system was used to produce 3D biodegradable scaffolds with controlled architecture, comprising three types of constructs: (i) poly(-caprolactone) (PCL) matrix as reference; (ii) PCL-b...
