Abstract

Injuries to the skin are common in daily life, and a certain type or size of defect is not easily restored using conventional dressings or naturally. The repair of these defects requires restoration of function in regenerated tissues. In this study, a tissue engineered skin was designed and fabricated using a bio-3D printing system. Polycaprolactone and bacterial cellulose comprised the scaffold, due to their excellent biocompatibility and multifunctionality. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (Ad-MSCs) were seeded onto the scaffold to functionalize it as an artificial skin. The finished artificial skin had mechanical properties similar to that of natural skin, and its fibrous structure providing a unique micro-environment that could regulate the paracrine function of the Ad-MSCs. This effect could be greatly increased by changes in the characteristics of the biomaterials. The artificial skin exhibited high biological activity, strong induction of cell recruitment, migration, growth and up-regulation of gene expression of relevant factors, resulting in excellent wound healing characteristics. This study clarified novel design aspects of cell-material interactions in which the topographical characteristics of materials can b...Continue Reading

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.

Adult Stem Cells

Adult stem cells reside in unique niches that provide vital cues for their survival, self-renewal, and differentiation. They hold great promise for use in tissue repair and regeneration as a novel therapeutic strategies. Here is the latest research.
