Development of PLLA-based Bio Inks Applicable in the Medical Field
Abstract: Some synthetic polymers, such as Poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA), are interesting to use in 3D bioprinting because they can have adaptable and resilient mechanical properties that also facilitate bioprinting processes. PLLA is a biocompatible polymer which makes it very interesting for medical applications, it is an aliphatic polyester obtained from α-hydroxy acids in different ways: ring-opening polymerization, and direct polycondensation. The use of one path over the other depends on …

Nanotechnology Application in Neural Growth Support System
Abstract: With its ability to transfer electric impulses, make contact with neurons, and mimic the environment of neurons, carbon nanotubes have been intriguing candidates for the development of scaffolding that could promote neuronal growth and division. In order to encourage the growth and development of human brain cells, the researchers developed biodegradable composite scaffolding comprised of interconnected carbon nanotubes dispersed in the poly-L-lactic acid substrate. To imitate the guiding inputs of …

Biopolymer-Based 3D Composite Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering: Photothermal-Responsive Systems with Controlled Pt (IV) Prodrug Release
Abstract: Biopolymer-based composite scaffolds have attracted significant attention as multifunctional platforms at the intersection of polymer science, regenerative medicine, and cancer nanotherapy. In this study, a dual-functional scaffold was developed for simultaneous osteosarcoma treatment and bone regeneration using poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) reinforced with bioactive glass (BG) and integrated with a glutathione-responsive platinum (IV) prodrug system (PDA@Pt). To improve interfacial adhesion, photothermal conversion efficiency, and tumor-specific activation, the Pt (IV) prodrug …
