Recent Findings in Tissue Engineering Described by Researchers from Monash University (Creation of Grooved Tissue Engineering Scaffolds From Architectured Multilayer Polymer Composites By a Tuneable One-step Degradation Process).

Researchers from Monash University in Clayton, Australia have developed a new method for creating tissue engineering scaffolds with well-defined micro-grooves. The scaffolds are made from multilayered 3D printed polymer composites and can be easily tuned for tissue engineering applications. The study found that neonatal rat cardiomyocytes aligned with the grooves in the scaffolds, promoting enhanced function. This research provides a low-cost and precise approach to controlling surface properties and topography in cardiac tissue engineering scaffolds. [Extracted from the article]
