Collagen is the most abundant structural protein of connective tissues including skin,
tendon, bone and cartilage in mammals. The complicated biosynthesis of nature collagen in …

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) constitute a major fraction of the current major global
diseases and lead to about 30% of the deaths, ie, 17.9 million deaths per year. CVD include …

Studies of cell attachment to collagen-based materials often ignore details of the binding
mechanisms—be they integrin-mediated or non-specific. In this work, we have used …

Biomimetic scaffolds mimic important features of the extracellular matrix (ECM) architecture
and can be finely controlled at the nano‐or microscale for tissue engineering. Rational …

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) govern important functional characteristics of the extracellular
matrix (ECM) in living tissues. Incorporation of GAGs into biomaterials opens up new routes …

The fabrication of an instructive bioabsorbable scaffold is one of the main goals for tissue
engineering applications. In this regard, genipin cross-linked gelatin scaffolds, produced by …

Here, we describe a porous 3-dimensional collagen scaffold material that supports capillary
formation in vitro, and promotes vascularization when implanted in vivo. Collagen scaffolds …

Neural stem cell (NSC) grafts have demonstrated significant effects in animal models of
spinal cord injury (SCI), yet their clinical translation remains challenging. Significant …

The biofabrication of large natural biomaterial scaffolds into complex 3D shapes which have
a controlled microarchitecture remains a major challenge. Freeze‐drying (or lyophilization) …

Abstract Chitosan/collagen (Chit/Col) blends have demonstrated great potential for use in
tissue engineering (TE) applications. However, there exists a lack of detailed study on the …
