Some biomaterial scaffolds can positively interfere with tissue regeneration and are being developed to successfully repair the tissue function. The possibility of using epithelial cells combined with biomaterials appears to be a new option as therapeutic application. This combination emerges as a possibility for patients with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome which requires vaginal repair and can be performed with tissue-engineered solution containing cells and biomaterials. It is expected that tissue-engineered solution containing cells and biomaterials would promote tissue repair in a more efficient, modern, and safe way. This study tested the efficiency of tissue-engineered solution containing human malignant melanoma cell line (HMV-II) and different biomaterials, including Cellprene, Membracel, and poly lactic-co-glycolic acid/epoxidized polyisoprene. The cells adhered better on poly lactic-co-glycolic acid/epoxidized polyisoprene, and it was found that tissue-engineered solution may also contain mesenchymal stem cells cultivated on poly lactic-co-glycolic acid/epoxidized polyisoprene. Histological, immunofluorescence, and scanning electron microscopy analyses were performed. These initial in vitro results suggest that tissue-engineered solution containing cells and poly lactic-co-glycolic acid/epoxidized polyisoprene is a potential for tissue reconstruction.

Tissue engineering (TE) has revolutionized regenerative medicine by integrating scaffolds, cells, and bioactive molecules to repair or replace damaged tissues; the core triad of TE are scaffolds, cells, and biochemical signals. Although advances in biomaterials development and scaffold fabrication techniques have led to significant progress in TE, the effective delivery of bioactive agents, such as growth factors (GFs), antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, and small molecules, remains a challenge due to their short half-lives and uncontrolled release kinetics. This study explores the synergistic potential of drug delivery systems (DDS) embedded within tissue-engineered scaffolds, emphasizing their role in enhancing regenerative outcomes through controlled spatiotemporal release of therapeutic agents.

Tissue engineering in dentistry is revolutionizing the regeneration of dental pulp. The dental pulp is a specialized connective tissue that plays an important role in maintaining tooth health and supporting healing processes. However, exposure of the pulp to harmful factors, such as infections or trauma, can negatively impact its function, leading to inflammation, tissue necrosis, and ultimately pulp loss.

Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) is a common disabling condition primarily caused by trauma, such as traffic accidents and occupational injuries. Traditional treatments for PNI have significant limitations. Tissue-engineered nerve grafts (TENGs), which integrate biomaterials, neurotrophic factors, and seed cells, offer a novel solution for nerve regeneration.

This study engineers leaflet- and 3-dimensional (3D) printing-based implant prototypes for infant mitral valve repair via in vitro cultured mesoangioblasts isolated from the human fetal aorta (AoMAB). Ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) coatings, as well as 3D-printed gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogels for implants, represent new possibilities for devices used in mitral valve repair. Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) repair in pediatric patients is challenging due to somatic growth, patient-prosthesis mismatch, reinterventions, infections, and thromboembolism.
