23 Jul THREE-DIMENSIONAL SCAFFOLDS FOR TISSUE ENGINEERING MADE BY PROCESSING COMPLEX EXTRACTS OF NATURAL EXTRACELLULAR MATRICES
Abstract
Methods of making a biologically active three-dimensional scaffold capable of supporting growth and differentiation of a cell are described. Biologically active three-dimensional scaffold made by the methods of the invention and an engineered tissue made from the scaffolds are described. Fibers of desired porosity can be obtained from non-structural ECM by lyophilization and/or electrospinning which can be useful for numerous tissue engineering applications requiring complex scaffolds, such as wound healing, artificial skin (burns), soft tissue replacement/repair and spinal cord injury.
