Design, production and evaluation of an auxetic straining device for application in lung tissue engineering scaffolds
One of the main challenges in lung tissue engineering is the replication of the complex structure and mechanics of the native environment. This thesis addresses two main objectives: firstly, the development of biomimetic scaffolds, based on collagen type I, that replicate the porous architecture of …

Lung tissue engineering : in vitro synthesis of lung tissue from neonatal and fetal rat lung cells cultured in a three-dimensional collagen matrix
… this study was to investigate the histology of tissue formed when fetal (16-20 days gestation) and neonatal (2 days old) rat lung cells were grown in a collagen-glycosaminoglycan scaffold. This project employed a collagen-GAG scaffold specifically developed for tissue engineering and …

In Vitro Development of Engineered Lung Tissue
<p>Lung disease is the third most common cause of death in the United States, resulting in 400,000 deaths annually \cite{ALA:08}. For many diseases, lung transplantation is the only definitive treatment, yet only 2700 lung transplants are performed each year, limited primarily by a lack of donor …
