Area of Science:

  • Biomaterial science and nanotechnology
  • Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine

Background:

  • Tissue engineering aims to replicate extracellular matrix (ECM) signaling for cell growth and neotissue morphogenesis.
  • Nanotechnology offers nanoscale scaffold geometries that interact with cell mechanoreceptors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the application of nanotechnology in tissue engineering, particularly for bladder tissue.
  • To enhance scaffold design for improved cell adhesion, neotissue formation, and reduced complications.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing bottom-up (self-assembling polymers) and top-down (micro/nanoscale fabrication) approaches for scaffold design.
  • Employing electrospinning to create synthetic polymer nanofibers for fibrous scaffolds.
  • Functionalizing scaffolds with bioactive peptide sequences like RDG.
