Article Abstract
Aim: To investigated the effect of the presence of fibrin in the PLGA scaffold on the differentiation of adipose-derived stem cell (ASCs) into chondrocytes in the chondrogenic media.
Methods: ASCs were prepared by colagenase I digestion of fat from rabbits. The PLGA scaffolds were prepared by LDM technology. The hybrid scaffold was fabricated by a freeze-drying method. Isolated ASCs were cultured in the PLGA without and with fibrin up to 14 days in specific chondrogenic medium. The surface property of the scaffold was observed by SEM. Cell attachment was evaluated, and glycoaminoglycans (GAGs) content was tested by biochemical method.
Result: When ASCs were seeded within fibrin modified PLGA scaffold in vitro, enhanced cellular attachment and differentiation were observed compared to unmodified PLGA scaffold. The study from articular cartilage defect repaired showed that the group from the autologous ASCs seeded on fibrin-PLGA scaffold had better chondrocyte morphology, tissue integration, continuous subchondral bone, and much thicker newly formed cartilage layer as compared with other groups.
Conclusion: Such modification of PLGA may ultimately enhance the efficacy of tissue engineered scaffolds for cartilage tissue engineering using ASCs.

The stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a difficulty in urology and current sub-urethral sling treatments are associated with inflamation and recurrence. In this study, we developed a novel tissue-engineered sling with myogenic induced adiposederived stem cells (MI-ADSCs) sheets induced by 5-Aza and combined with electrospun scaffolds of silk fibroin and poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (SF/PLGA) for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. MI-ADSCs increased α-SMA, MyoD and Desmin the mRNA and protein expression.

The application of nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in tissue engineering is receiving increased attention. As three-dimensional scaffolding materials that provide an appropriate extracellular microenvironment supporting the survival, proliferation, and organization of cells play a key role tissue engineering, hybridization of nanoscale MOFs with bulk hydrogels has led to the development of nanoscale MOF-combined hydrogels. However, development of nanoscale MOF-combined hydrogel scaffolds remains challenging.

Biomaterials-based 3D models have emerged as new cancer research tools for studying osteosarcoma (OS). However, the impact of scaffold material choice on OS phenotype and drug responses in 3D remains largely unknown, as previous studies used different biomaterials as scaffolds without direct comparison. In this study, we systematically compared four biomaterials: Gelatin methacrylate (GelMA), Gelatin microribbons (Gel µRB), Collagen I hydrogel (Col1), and Poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA).

Scaffold architecture with complementary features on the surface brings the desired properties in the surface chemistry. That structure plays a critical role in tissue engineering to tailor cell behaviour and promote effective transport for cell growth and tissue regeneration. In this work, a controllable interconnected three-dimensional (3D) porous scaffold with surface micropatterning was fabricated.

This study addresses the challenges of slow and inadequate bone formation during the repair of bone defects by developing a novel porous biological scaffold with a vertical microchannel structure, loaded with the angiogenesis-promoting drug Deferoxamine (DFO). Utilizing 3D printing technology, cylindrical porous templates made of PLGA were manufactured, followed by the integration of Linear Wire Arrays (LWAs) technology and freeze-drying techniques to fabricate scaffolds with microchannels. The scaffolds' surface morphology was characterized using scanning electron microscopy, while their porosity, water absorption properties, and mechanical strength were quantified.
