Tissue engineering strategies

Choice of the ideal animal model to test tissue engineered strategies has to balance cost and relevance. The naturally occurring macaque model would be a primary choice however, the costs may be prohibitive, especially for the academic arena. Other large animals such as goats and sheep may also pose cost limitations... 

Nanofiber-based tissue engineering strategies are faced with similar challenges to those encountered throughout the field of tissue engineering. These challenges... 

These results clearly demonstrate how cell adhesion onto the developed set of biohybrid materials can be easily timed through the choice of PEG-content and biomolecular functionalisation. More advanced functionalisation schemes additionally utilize non-covalent loading of growth and differentiation factors to locally induce the formation of capillary endothelial cell networks. Based on that, the novel biohybrid hydrogel can be expected to offer valuable extensions of various tissue engineering strategies.

Scaffold design often reproduces bulk form but lacks requisite transport networks to replicate perfusion. Without this capability, most tissue engineering strategies are limited to diffusion and small-sized scaffolds. In fact cell colonization at the scaffold periphery is consuming, or acting as an effective barrier to the diffusion of oxygen and nutrients into the interior of the scaffold [22].
