Application of Nanoscaffolds and Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Tissue Engineering
Journal Title: Iranian Journal of Blood and Cancer - Year 2010, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Stem cell research has obtained much prominence in recent years for its therapeutic potential in dealing with serious diseases, many of which are essentially incurable by routine therapies. Mesenchymal stem cells with pluripotency and immunomodulatory properties are suitable candidates for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Today, nanofibrous scaffolds are widely used in tissue engineering to improve implantation, function, proliferation and infiltration of the cells. In this regard, porous and biodegradable scaffolds with microstructure and suitable physicalmechanical properties are prepared. We review the application of mesenchymal stem cells nanoscaffolds and in tissue engineering.
