In Vitro 3D Regeneration ‐like Growth of Human Patient Brain Tissue
Abstract In vitro culture of primary neurons are widely adapted with embryonic but not mature brain tissue. Here, we extended a previously developed bioengineered 3D embryonic brain tissue model to resected normal patient brain tissue in an attempt to regenerate human neurons in vitro. Single cells and small sized (diameter < 100 μm) spheroids from dissociated brain tissue were seeded into 3D silk fibroin‐based scaffolds, with or without collagen or Matrigel, and compared with 2D cultures and scaffold‐free suspension cultures. Changes of cell phenotypes (neuronal, astroglial, neural progenitor and neuroepithelial) ...

Decellularized pancreas as a native extracellular matrix scaffold for pancreatic islet seeding and culture
In this study, mouse pancreata were decellularized by perfusion using 0.5% sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS). Different characterizations revealed that the resulting matrix was free of cells and retained part of the pancreas ECM including the vasculature and its internal elastic basal lamina, the ducts with their basal membrane as well as the glycosaminoglycan and collagen structures. Islets were infused into the ductal system of decellularized pancreata and glucose‐stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) results confirmed their functionality after 48h. Also, re‐cellularizing the decellularized pancreas with GFP‐tagged INS...

Differentiation of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell under Flow Conditions to Mature Hepatocytes for Liver Tissue Engineering
In conclusion, the hiPSC differentiated under flow conditions towards hepatocytes express a wide spectrum of liver functions at levels comparable to hPCLS indicating excellent future perspectives for the development of a bioartificial liver system for toxicity testing or as liver support device for patients.

Novel Cellulose/Hydroxyapatite Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Regeneration: in vitro and in vivo study
Abstract Cellulose scaffolds containing nano‐ or micro‐hydroxyapatite (nHA or μHA) were prepared by the regeneration of cellulose from its acetylated derivative and the mechanical immobilization of inorganic particles, followed by freeze‐drying. Microtomographic (μCT) evaluation revealed that both scaffolds presented a highly interconnected porous structure, with a mean pore diameter of 490±94 μm and 540±132 μm for cellulose/nHA and cellulose/μHA, respectively. In vitro and in vivo characterizations of the developed scaffolds were investigated. Commercially available bone allograft was used as a control materi...

Novel injectable gellan gum hydrogel composites incorporating Zn ‐ and Sr‐enriched bioactive glass microparticles: high‐resolution X‐Ray micro‐computed tomography, antibacterial and in vitro testing
In this study, gellan gum (GG) hydrogels were formed by simple mixing of GG solution with bioactive glass microparticles of 45S5 composition, leading to hydrogel formation by ion release from the amorphous bioactive glass microparticles. This resulted in novel injectable, self‐gelling composites of GG hydrogels containing 20% bioactive glass. Gelation occurred within 20 minutes. Composites containing the standard 45S5 bioactive glass preparation were markedly less stiff. X‐ray μCT proved to be a highly sensitive technique capable of detecting microparticles of diameter approximately 8 μm, i.e. individual microparticl...

Assessing glucose and oxygen diffusion in hydrogels for the rational design of 3D stem cell scaffolds in regenerative medicine
Abstract Hydrogels are attractive biomaterials for replicating cellular microenvironments, but attention needs to be given to hydrogels diffusion properties. A large body of literature shows the promise of hydrogels as 3D culture models, cell expansion systems, cell delivery vehicles and tissue constructs. Surprisingly, literature seems to have overlooked the important effects of nutrient diffusion on the viability of hydrogel‐encapsulated cells. In this paper, we present the methods and results of an investigation into glucose and oxygen diffusion into a silated‐hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (Si‐HPMC) hydrogel. Using...
