Scaffolds and tissue regeneration: An overview of the functional properties of ...
Rebelo, Márcia A.; Alves, Thais F. R.; de Lima, Renata; Oliveira, J. M.; Vila, Marta M. D. C.; Balcão, V. M.; Severino, Patrícia; Chaud, Marco V.Tissue engineering plays a significant role both in the re-establishment of functions and regeneration of organic tissues. Success in manufacturing projects for biological scaffolds, for the purpose of tissue regeneration, is conditioned by the selection of parameters such as the biomaterial, the device architecture, and the specificities of the cells making up the organic tissue to create, in vivo, a microenvi...
Chitosan-based scaffolds for tissue regeneration: preparation and microstructur...
Rebelo, Márcia A.; Chaud, Marco V.; Balcão, V. M.; Vila, Marta M. D. C.; Aranha, Norberto; Yoshida, Valquíria M. H.; Alves, Thaís F.Scaffolds are porous three-dimensional supports, designed to mimic the extracellular environment and remain temporarily integrated into the host tissue while stimulating, at the molecular level, specific cellular responses to each type of body tissues. The major goal of the research work entertained herein was to study the microstructure of scaffolds made from chitosan (Ch), blends of chitosan and sodium algina...
