组织工程多孔支架材料制备技术的研究进展

组织工程多孔支架材料作为组织工程学的三大要素之一,除本身的性质外,支架材料的形状、孔径大小和孔隙率都直接影响着种子细胞的黏附、增殖和分化,因此如何制备具有高孔隙率、孔径大小合适且内部联通的多孔支架材料.为种子细胞的生长提供良好的微环境是非常重要的.回顾了近年来发展的组织工程多孔支架材料制备技术:纤维粘接法、乳液冷冻干燥法、溶液浇注,沥滤法、气体发泡法、热致相分离法及静电纺丝法.并重点介绍了目前国内外研究较多的快速成形技术;总结分析认为各种基本制备技术的联合应用和具备结构高度可控性、个体化制备特点的快速成形技术将是今后组织工程多孔支架材料制备技术的发展方向.

Advancement of the preparation technology of the porous scaffolds for the tissue engineering

As an essential element of tissue engineering,the shape,pore size,and porosity of the porous scaffolds have direct influence on the attachment,proliferation,and differentiation of seeding cell as well as their properties.So it is important to be able to prepare an ideal porous scaffold which is able to provide the cells with an excellent micrcenvirenment in order to support their growth and differentiation.In this article,we reviewed some kinds of the preparation technologies of the porous scaffolds for tissue engineering,including fiber bonding,emulsion freeze drying,solvent casting/particulate leaching,high-pressuro processing,gas foaming/particulate leaching,thermally induced phase separation,and electro-spinning,with focus on rapid prototyping.It is our belief that the combination of the basic technologies and the rapid prototyping technology which is able to control the properties of the scaffolds and could be applied for individualized scaffold construction would be the major focus of research in the future.
