Development of Cartilage-Derived Matrix Scaffolds via Crosslinking, Decellularization, and Ice-Templating
… collagen crosslinking techniques as well as ice-templating in order to enhance the mechanical properties of CDM scaffolds and prevent cell-mediated contraction. Furthermore, the decellularization of CDM was investigated in order to remove possible sources of immunogenicity. This work found …

Development of Stochastic and Anisotropic Multiscale Ceramics Using High Aspect Ratio Sacrificial Fillers
… anisotropic structures via a directional ice-templating technique and hard-templating using the sacrificial filler method. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) aerogels have been created via a ceramic suspension of 100g/mL of CNC powder and deionized water. Samples were then frozen, in …

Architectural control of ice-templated collagen scaffolds for cardiac regeneration
… to facilitate cardiac tissue regeneration. Ice-templated collagen scaffolds have demonstrated translational success in other clinical applications. The ice templating technique utilizes phase separation dynamics during solidification and subsequent sublimation of ice to produce scaffolds …

Recapitulating mammary gland development and breast cancer cell migration in vitro using 3D engineered scaffolds
… cells were obtained from transgenic mice and seeded into these scaffolds and cultured, mimicking the process of fat pad repopulation. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that Axin2+ myoepithelial cells were rarely capable of forming bi-layered structures that expressed correct …

Design, Production and Characterisation of Anisotropic Collagen Scaffolds for Cardiac Tissue Repair
… in tissue engineering scaffolds. Unidirectional ice-templating has been established in prior work and collagen structures with anisotropic porosity can be created via control of ice nucleation and growth. This thesis aims to advance knowledge using finite element simulations to design complex …

Monitoring Tissue Function Dynamics in vitro with Bioelectronics: Towards Understanding Barrett’s Oesophagus Pathogenesis
… material in native tissue. Using an ice-templating technique, the conjugated polymer can be fabricated so as to take the form of a macroporous scaffold, which can then be used as a cell-culture substrate, which enforces the three-dimensional architecture of native tissue. This …
