Biofabricated Constructs Of Carbon-Based Nanoparticles With Mesenchymal Stem Cells For Orthopedic Repair, Steven D. Newby May 2021

Biofabricated Constructs Of Carbon-Based Nanoparticles With Mesenchymal Stem Cells For Orthopedic Repair, Steven D. Newby

Doctoral Dissertations

Breakthroughs in tissue engineering are moving at a rapid rate especially in the regenerative bone biofabrication. Technology growth in the field of additive manufacturing (AM) such 3D bioprinting which provides the ability to create biocompatible 3D construct on which a cell source could be seeded is an encouraging substitute to autologous grafts.

This present research aims to biofabricate a construct for bone tissue engineering using AM technology. The biocompatible material was chosen corresponding to bones extracellular matrix (ECM) composition, which demonstrates an inorganic and organic development phase: Poly (lactic-glycolic acid) was chosen as the polymeric matrix of the compound, due …
