Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the title3D Printing of Porous Scaffolds for Medical ApplicationsAblah Aljohani, Salil DesaiCustom engineered scaffolds that mimic the physiology of native tissue is an emerging need for successful regenerative medicine. One of the key challenges in current manufacturing methods is the lack of controlled porosity throughout the scaffold structure. In this research, our group explores the fabrication of tissue engineering scaffolds using 3D printing technology. The fused deposition modeling method was utilized … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 19 Jun 2018 · 8,508 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHybrid Ceramo-Polymeric Nanocomposite for Biomimetic Scaffolds Design and PreparationRaffaella Aversa, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Roberto Sorrentino et al.Biomimetics, biomechanics and tissue engineering are three multidisciplinary fields that have been contemplated in this research to attain the objective of improving prosthetic implants reliability. Since testing and mathematical methods are closely interlaced, a promising approach seemed to be the combination of in vitro and in vivo experiments with computer simulations (in silico). An innovative biomimetics and biomechanics approach and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 30 Nov 2016 · 8,269 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComposite Scaffolds for Bone Tissue EngineeringMin WangBiomaterial and scaffold development underpins the advancement of tissue engineering. Traditional scaffolds based on biodegradable polymers such as poly(lactic acid) and poly(lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) are weak and non-osteoconductive. For bone tissue engineering, polymer-based composite scaffolds containing bioceramics such as hydroxyapatite can be produced and used. The bioceramics can be either incorporated in the scaffolds as a dispersed secondary phase or … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,355 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFabrication of 3-D Porous Mg/Zn doped Tricalcium Phosphate Bone-Scaffolds via the Fused Deposition ModellingSamar Jyoti Kalita, Melissa FergusonThree dimensionally interconnected porous resorbable beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) ceramic scaffolds were developed using the indirect fused deposition modelling process. β-TCP was doped with Mg and Zn, separately, to improve its sintering kinetics and facilitate fabrication of viable porous scaffolds. Effects of Mg and Zn on sintering kinetics and densification of β-TCP were studied. Fabricated porous scaffolds were tested for their … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,926 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInduced Microcracking Affects Osteoblast Attachment on Hydroxyapatite Scaffolds for Tissue EngineeringIan O. Smith, Melissa J. Baumann, Eldon D. CaseBone microdamage caused by routine activity plays an important role in triggering targeted and nontargeted bone remodeling. Targeted remodeling occurs near localized areas of microdamage[1-4]. We hypothesize that bone remodeling may be directly and positively influenced by inducing microcracks in hydroxyapatite (HA) scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. A study by Case et al. showed microcracking in HA discs having >98% … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,557 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Assumption Regarding the way Matter is Constituted and Structured from LightFlorian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThe paper briefly presents some basic ideas on how matter is constituted and structured, based on permanent light as intrinsic energy. The fact that photons cannot be stored directly inside matter has not prevented it from having multiple hearts of energy springing from light, in the form of positive and negative electrical charges, which form the energy base of matter … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 8 Jun 2022 · 6,271 accessesView PDFCite
