ABSTRACT

Biological matrices can be modified with cross-linkers to improve some of their characteristics as scaffolds for tissue engineering. In this study, chemical cross-linker 1-Ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) was used with different ratios (5, 10, 20, 30, and 40 mM) to improve properties such as mechanical strength, denaturation temperature, and degradability of the acellular fish skin as a biological scaffold for tissue engineering applications. Morphological analysis showed that the use of cross-linker at low concentrations had no effect on the structure and textiles of the scaffold, while increasing mechanical strength, denaturation temperature, and degradation time. Cytotoxicity and cellular studies showed that the optimal cross-linker concentration did not significantly affect cell viability as well as cell adhesion. In general, utilising the carbodiimide cross-linker with the optimal ratio can improve the characteristics and function of the biological tissues such as acellular fish skin.

ABSTRACT

Acellular skin as a scaffold has a good potential to regenerate or repair damaged tissues. Growth factors such as Plasma Rich in Growth Factor (PRGF) as a rich source of active proteins can accelerate tissue regeneration. In this study, an acellular scaffold derived from fish skin with growth factors was used to repair full-thickness skin defects in a rat model. Cellular results demonstrated that epithelial cells adhere well to acellular scaffolds. The results of animal studies showed that the groups treated with acellular scaffold and growth factor have a high ability to close and heal wounds on the 28th day after surgery. Histological and staining results showed that in the treated groups with scaffold and growth factor, an epidermal layer was formed with some skin appendages similar to normal skin. Overall, such scaffolds with biological agents can cause an acceptable synergistic effect on skin regeneration and wound healing.

ABSTRACT

Light can act as an effective and strong agent for the cross-linking of biomaterials and tissues and is recognized as a safe substitute for chemical cross-linkers to modify mechanical and physical properties and promote biocompatibility. This review focuses on the research about crosslinked biomaterials with different radiation sources such as Laser or ultraviolet (UV) that can be applied as scaffolds, controlled release systems,and tissue adhesives for cornea healing and tissue regeneration.

ABSTRACT

Microorganisms such as bacteria and their derived biopolymers can be used in biomaterials and tissue regeneration. Various methods have been applied to regenerate damaged tissues, but using probiotics and biomaterials derived from bacteria with improved economic-production efficiency and highly applicable properties can be a new solution in tissue regeneration. Bacteria can synthesize numerous types of biopolymers. These biopolymers possess many desirable properties such as biocompatibility and biodegradability, making them good candidates for tissue regeneration. Here, we reviewed different types of bacterial-derived biopolymers and highlight their applications for tissue regeneration.

ABSTRACT

The use of decellularized natural skin as an extracellular matrix (ECM) may be a great candidate to regenerate damaged tissues. In this study, decellularized scaffolds from fish skin were designed by different techniques (physical, chemical, and enzymatic methods) and investigated by analyses such as Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Tensile strength, Degradability, Histological studies, Toxicity test, and Determination of DNA content. Results showed that the best sample is related to the decellularized skin by hypertonic & hypotonic technique and Triton X100 solutions. Structural and mechanical results were demonstrated that samples have similar properties to human skin to regenerate it. The cytotoxicity results showed that decellularized skin by hypertonic & hypotonic method and Triton solution is non-toxic with minimal amount of genetic materials. Cellular results with epithelial cells indicated good adhesion on decellularized matrix, so it can be a suitable candidate for skin tissue regeneration.
