Compliance-matching vascular grafts with personalization potential

Aortic diseases are characterized by dire prognosis and inadequate diagnosis, owing to their insidious yet lethal nature. Aortopathies, namely aortic aneurysms and dissections, along with certain congenital diseases, might necessitate surgical replacement ...

Effect of minor amounts of beta-calcium pyrophosphate and hydroxyapatite on the physico-chemical properties and osteoclastic resorption of beta-tricalcium phosphate cylinders

Paul Bowen, Gabrielle Anne Laguisma Sblendorio

beta-Tricalcium Phosphate (beta-TCP), one of the most used bone graft substitutes, may contain up to 5 wt% foreign phase according to standards. Typical foreign phases include beta-calcium pyrophosphate (beta-CPP) and hydroxyapatite (HA). Currently, the ef ...

Atomistic simulation and electron microscopy to characterize grain boundaries in doped beta-tricalcium phosphate ceramics

Gabrielle Anne Laguisma Sblendorio

The limitations and potential complications correlated with autogenous bone grafts have raised interest in the development of synthetic bone graft substitutes. ß-tricalcium phosphate (ß-TCP) is one of the most promising materials for synthetic bone graft s ...

Modeling hematopoietic stem cell dynamics in bioengineered niches

Sonja Giger

Bone marrow transplantation is a well-established medical procedure for the treatment of various hematologic diseases. However, the relatively low number of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that can be harvested, especially from umbilical cord blood, limits ...

Fiber density of collagen grafts impacts rabbit urethral regeneration

Peter Frey, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Hans Mattias Larsson, Elif Vardar, Kalitha Pinnagoda, Ganesh Vythilingam

There is a need for efficient and “off-the-shelf” grafts in urethral reconstructive surgery. Currently available surgical techniques require harvesting of grafts from autologous sites, with increased risk of surgical complications and added patient discomf ...

Effect of temporal onsets of mechanical loading on bone formation inside a tissue engineering scaffold combined with cell therapy

Dominique Pioletti, Tanja Cloé Hausherr

Several approaches to combine bone substitutes with biomolecules, cells or mechanical loading have been explored as an alternative to the limitation and risk-related bone auto- and allo-grafts. In particular, human bone progenitor cells seeded in porous po ...

Anti-fibrotic effect of ketoprofen-grafted alginate microcapsules in the transplantation of insulin producing cells

Sandrine Gerber, François Rémi Pierre Noverraz, Daniel Ortiz Trujillo, Luca Szabó, Léo Bühler

The controlled release of small molecular modulators of the immune response from hydrogel microspheres (MS) used for cell immobilization is an attractive approach to reduce pericapsular fibrotic overgrowth (PFO) after transplantation. Ketoprofen is a well- ...

In vivo mechanical loading combined with cell therapy in a bone tissue engineering scaffold

Tanja Cloé Hausherr

Bone defects generate a worldwide high demand for bone repair and reconstruction. The incidence of bone defect repair in our aging society is expected to increase in the next decades. As bone auto- and allografting solutions often suffer from limited suppl ...

Tissue engineering for prenatal applications

Anna-Sofia Johanna Kiveliö

Fetal therapies have become available for a restricted number of life-threatening clinical conditions. Harnessing tissue engineering for prenatal applications has not been widely pursued even though isolating cells from fetal and extraembryonic tissues has ...

Characterization of bone progenitor cells after GFP lentivirus transfection

Axelle Deirdre Eve Justafré, Tanja Cloé Hausherr

Several treatments have been developed for treating bone fractures as they are very common events. Amongst other new strategies, synthetic bone substitutes present a very high potential therapy because they lower the risk of infection and rejection. Moreov ...
