An irregular porous structure plays a major role in bone tissue engineering, and it is more suitable for bone tissue growth than a regular porous structure. The response surface method was used to establish a relationship between the average pore size and the design parameters. The technology of selective laser melting was utilized to fabricate the porous Ti-6Al-4V scaffolds with an irregularity of (0.4) and porosities of (70, 80, and 90%) designed using the Voronoi-tessellation method. Compression tests of porous scaffolds showed an elastic modulus range of 0.84-1.97 GPa and an ultimate strength ranging within 21.0-99.1 MPa. The elastic modulus was mainly influenced by the porosity and heat-treatment process. Furthermore, the fatigue test results suggested that the number of cycles (9 × 10 to 1.8 × 10) was greatly influenced by the porosity and heat-treatment process. The heat treatment of annealing greatly improved the fatigue performance of porous scaffolds. The irregular porous scaffolds with lower porosity and after full annealing exhibited the best fatigue behavior.

Alveolar ridge loss presents difficulties for implant placement and stability. To address this, alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) is required to maintain bone and avoid the need for ridge augmentation using socket grafting. In this study, a scaffold for ARP was created by fabricating a 3D porous dense microfiber silk fibroin (mSF) embedded in poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), which mimics the osteoid template.

Electrospinning is a remarkably straightforward and adaptable technique that can be employed to process an array of synthetic and natural materials, resulting in the production of nanoscale fibers. It has emerged as a novel technique for biomedical applications and has gained increasing popularity in the research community in recent times. In the context of tissue repair and tissue engineering, there is a growing tendency toward the integration of biomimetic scaffolds and bioactive macromolecules, particularly proteins and growth factors.

The development of new graphene-based materials necessitates the application of suitable material imaging techniques, especially for the identification of defects in the graphene structure and its continuity. For this purpose, it is natural to use one of the main properties of graphene-electrical conductivity. In this work, we prepare a 9 cm large-area monolayer graphene membrane on porous scaffolding sealed with either GO or rGO.

Chronic wounds present a major healthcare challenge around the world, and significant hurdles remain in their effective treatment due to limitations in accessible treatment options. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with multifunctional differentiation and modulatory properties have been delivered to chronic wounds to enhance closure but have limited engraftment when delivered without a scaffold. In this study, hybrid porous hydrogel foams composed of modified polyvinyl alcohol and gelatin were developed that are suitable for rapid and facile MSC encapsulation, fully degradable, and supportive of wound healing.

The present study aims to analyze the thermal regulation of the Ce/Ce ratio on the nanonetwork titania layer over the titanium (Ti) surface developed by the alkali-mediated surface modification approach. The effect of sequential heat treatment from 200 to 800 °C was evaluated for its surface characteristics such as morphology, phase formation, roughness, hardness, hydrophilicity, etc. Surface oxidation by temperatures up to 600 °C demonstrated a progressive increase in the Ce (CeO) content with a rutile TiO network layer over the Ti surface.
