THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTING OF SCAFFOLDS FOR TISSUE ENGINEERING

Image
For biomedical applications, 3-D printing has established its appreciable potential in the production of functional scaffolds. Day by day increase in advancement in the techniques of 3D printing gave rise to hope for enhancements in regenerative medication. The aim of this field of research is the use of stem cells and different techniques to replace and repair the injured organs, cells, or tissues. Basic concept of Tissue Engineering: In 1993, tissue engineering concept was formalized in a paper by two scientist Langer and Vacanti, applications and characteristics of biodegradable 3-D scaffolds were described in detailed (An, J. et al., 2015). Tissue engineering is a developing branch, in which tissue scaffolds are used for the development of new tissues and these tissues used for various medical purposes. After many years of continuous efforts, a group of tissue culture, implantation replacement technologies have been established, which allows artificial extracellular fabricati...

Regenerating organs: using teeth

Image
After spending weeks listening and watching news of the rise of incident cases of COVID-19   in Pakistan, we tend to overlook other diseases, like Cancer, which are still fatal. In fact, during this condition, our lifestyle has changed. Spending about two months under lockdown have made us depressed, and thereby, we tend to overeat. From the other way around, binge-watching, episodes after episodes on Netflix. Not just that it put us into the risk of getting diseases, like Diabetes, but chewing excessive foods could affect our teeth, as well.   Yes, COVID-19 is not the only problem, currently.   Diseases, like cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, and some others, still exist among us, which further increases the risk of our mortality. Such illness requires organs and many studies have reported the significance of regenerative medicine and ongoing research has turned their attention towards deriving stem cell therapy from a tooth. Most of us are familiar with ...
