23 Jul TISSUE SCAFFOLD MOLD APPARATUS AND USE IN MAKING TISSUE ENGINEERED ORGANS WITH HOLLOW STRUCTURES
Abstract
The present invention provides a tissue scaffold mold apparatus and methods for use of the mold apparatus to simply, rapidly and easily form molded tissue scaffolds from fibrous proteins such as collagen, and with other matrix components having complex 3-dimensional designs that can be seeded with stem cells for creating biologically and mechanically functional tissues/grafts. The inventive methods and apparatus allows for tissue engineering of hollow or concave and tubular organs and tissues, and will have immediate impact in a wide range of biomedical areas from tissue engineering, regeneration and reconstructive surgery.
