Study Notes
Strategies for Generating Functionally Mature Organoids
- On-chip technology and 3D printing technology can provide 3D microenvironments for organoids that mimic the in vivo environment
- Microfluidic chip technology enables spatial and temporal control of soluble or insoluble factors, gradient generation, and microenvironmental effects, resulting in regulated organoid morphogenesis and development
- Bioreactors provide media flow to facilitate nutrient and oxygen absorption, creating organoids with more homogeneous characteristics
- Co-culture systems with supporting cell types and functional biomaterials can further differentiate organoids into more mature phenotypes
Challenges of Tissue Engineering
- Low survival rate of donor or autologous cells in vivo, and improper vascularization of implanted tissue/organ
- Use of acellular scaffolds provides shelter to host cells, expanding clinical applications
- 3D printing of scaffolds with desired cells for tissue preparation has advanced the construction of biomimetic living tissues
Biodegradability and Biomaterials
- Biodegradable scaffolds provide structural integrity while cells fabricate their natural matrix structure
- Ceramics exhibit excellent biocompatibility, high mechanical stiffness, and low elasticity (e.g., hydroxyapatite and tri-calcium phosphate)
- Synthetic polymers exhibit controlled degradation characteristics and can be fabricated with tailored architecture (e.g., polystyrene, poly-l-lactic acid, and polyglycolic acid)
- Natural polymers are biologically active and allow host cells to produce their own extracellular matrix and replace the degraded scaffold
Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMC) and Adipose-Derived Stem Cells
- BMC is a rich source of regenerative cells needed for bone formation and angiogenesis
- SVF (stromal vascular fraction) contains a large population of mature cells, progenitors, and stem cells
- Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) share similarities with bone marrow-derived stem cells, including self-renewal and multilineage differentiation capacity
- MSCs, HSCs, and EPCs are present in BMC, supporting bone formation and angiogenesis
Functional Biomaterials for Tissue Engineering
- Multifunctional smart biomaterials compatible with human physiology are crucial for achieving required biological function with reduced negative biological response
- Biocompatibility focuses on body acceptance and no harmful effects after implantation
- Bioactive and biodegradable materials, including biomimic materials, biomaterials, self-assembly biomaterials, bioprinting functional hydrogels, and hybrid synthetic-natural hydrogels, are utilized to achieve required function and sustainability
