상전이 과정을 통하여 poly(L-lactic acid) 재질의 다공성 스캐폴드 막을 제조하였다. 비용매로는 에탄올을 사용하였고, 용매로서 chloroform, dichloromethane 및 1,4-dioxane을 사용하였으며, 제조한 스캐폴드 막의 모폴로지와 기계적 강도 및 물질전달 특성은 각각 SEM, 인장강도실험 및 당 확산실험을 통하여 측정, 평가하였다. chloroform을 용매로 사용한 스캐폴드 막과 dichloromethane을 용매로 사용한 스캐폴드 막은 서로 유사한 모폴로지와 기계적 특성을 보였다. 이들 스캐폴드 막은 공극 직경 $3-10{\mu}m$의 다공성 스펀지 구조를 보였으며, 범위 50-80%의 공극률을 보였다. 1,4-dioxane 용매의 용액으로부터 제조된 스캐폴드 막은 공극률 80% 이상의 나노섬유 형태를 보였다. 캐스팅 용액 내의 고분자 함량이 4% 이하로 낮추었을 때에는 나노섬유 구조의 바탕에 수십 ${/mu}m$의 거대 공극이 존재하는 높은 공극률(90%)을 갖는 스캐폴드 막이 얻어졌다. 이러한 결과를 통하여 스캐폴드 막의 구조에 대하여 용매는 중요한 효과를 미치며, 상전이 과정에서 용매선택과 캐스팅 용액의 농도 조절을 통하여 다양한 구조의 스캐폴드 막을 제조할 수 있다는 결론을 도출하였다.

Ternary blends of poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA), poly(${\varepsilon}$-caprolactone) (PCL) and polyethylene oxide (PEO) were produced with different concentrations of components via melt blending. By leaching the PEO from the samples by water, porous materials were obtained with potential application for bio scaffolds. Sample porosity was evaluated by calculating the ratio of porous scaffold density (${\rho}^*$) to the non-porous material density (${\rho}_s$). Highest porosity (51.42%) was related to the samples containing 50 wt%. of PEO. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies showed the best porosity resulted by decreasing PLLA/PCL ratio at constant concentration of PEO. Crystallization behavior of the ternary blend samples was studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Results revealed that the crystallinity of PLLA was improved by addition of PEO and PCL to the samples. The porosity plays a key role in governing the compression properties. Mechanical properties are presented by Gibson-Ashby model.

Collagen scaffolds were synthesized by cross linking into a solution mixture of 1-ethyl-3-[3-dimethylaminopropyl] carbodiimide hydrochlorid(EDC) in ethanol, followed by pressing, cleaning and lyophilization process after the type I atelo-collagen solutions in D.I water(pH3). The experimental conditions are collagen concentration of 1.0 wt%, 3.0 wt%, 5.0 wt% and differential concentration of cross-linker. Then, parametric studies were performed by varying the parameters to investigate the morphology, the porosity, the swelling ratio and the thickness and genotoxicity of the scaffolds. The scaffolds thickness pattern was regular to concentration of the degree of cross-linker and collagen. It was observed that the swelling ratio, the degree of crosslink, and the pore size(thickness of scaffold) can be controlled by adjusting the collagen, crosslinker. Among the parameters investigated, the smallest thickness can be achieved by collagen, crosslinker concentrate condition. The collagen scaffold is induced no genotoxicity. The lowest swelling ratio, as an indication of the highest degree of crosslink, can be obtained by adding crosslink agent.

In this study, we fabricated a novel micro porous hybrid scaffold of biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) and a polylectrolyte complex (PEC) of chitosan (CS) and hyaluronic acid (HA). The fabrication process included loading of CS-HA PEC in a bare BCP scaffold followed by lypophilization. SEM observation and porosimetry revealed that the scaffold was full of micro and macro pores with total porosity of more than 60 % and pore size in the range of $20{\sim}200{\mu}m$. The composite scaffold was mechanically stronger than the bare BCP scaffold and was significantly stronger than the CS-HA PEC polymer scaffold. Bone morphogenetic growth factor (BMP-2) was immobilized in CS-HA PEC in order to integrate the osteoinductive potentiality required for osteogenesis. The BCP frame, prepared by sponge replica, worked as a physical barrier that prolonged the BMP-2 release significantly. The preliminary biocompatibility data show improved biological performance of the BMP-2 immobilized hybrid scaffold in the presence of rabbit bone marrow stem cells (rBMSC).

조직공학은 생명과학, 의학, 공학의 기본개념 및 기술을 바탕으로 생체조직을 대체할 수 있는 인공조직 및 장기를 제작하여 이식함으로써 생체의 기능을 유지, 향상 또는 복원하는 것을 목표로 하는데 여기에 사용되는 기본 재료가 장기나 조직의 형태를 만들도록 돕는 scaffold이다. Scaffold를 만드는데 있어서 Solvent-casting과 Particulate leaching 기법은 다공성 폴리머 scaffold의 제조에서 널리 쓰이는 방법인데 여기 쓰이는 particle에는 소금과 젤라틴 둥이 사용되고 있다. 소금은 얻기가 쉽고 다루기에도 편리하다는 장점 때문에 가장 일반적으로 사용되고 있으며 젤라틴은 소금에 비하여 세포의 초기 접착과 증식에 유리하다는 이유로 최근에 많이 사용되고 있으나 이에 관한 비교실험은 아직 보고 된 바 없다. 본 연구에서는 소금과 젤라틴으로 만들어진 두 가지 scaffold를 비교해 보았으며 그 결과 젤라틴 scaffold가 초기상태의 세포 접합과 증식에 있어서 좋은 결과를 보였고 같은 공극율일 때 공극의 연결 상태가 훨씬 더 우수한 결과를 보였다.

Collagen is one of the most widely used biological materials in medical design. Collagen extracted from marine organisms can be a good biomaterial for tissue engineering applications due to its suitable properties. In this study, collagen is extracted from fish skin of Ctenopharyngodon Idella; then, the freeze drying method is used to design a porous scaffold. The scaffolds are modified with the chemical crosslinker N-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethyl carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) to improve some of the overall properties. The extracted collagen samples are evaluated by various analyzes including cytotoxicity test, SDS-PAGE, FTIR, DSC, SEM, biodegradability and cell culture. The results of the SDS-PAGE study demonstrate well the protein patterns of the extracted collagen. The results show that cross-linking of collagen scaffold increases denaturation temperature and degradation time. The results of cytotoxicity show that the modified scaffolds have no toxicity. The cell adhesion study also shows that epithelial cells adhere well to the scaffold. Therefore, this method of chemical modification of collagen scaffold can improve the physical and biological properties. Overall, the modified collagen scaffold can be a promising candidate for tissue engineering applications.

A three-dimensional, porous collagen/chitosan complex sponge was prepared to closely simulate basic extracellular matrix (ECM) constitutes, collagen and glycosaminoglycan. The complex sponge was prepared by a lyophilization method and had the regular network with highly porous structure, suitable for cell adhesion and growth. The pores were well interconnected, and their distribution was fairly homogeneous. The complex sponge was crosslinked using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethyl aminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) to increase its boilogical stability and enhance its mechanical properties. The crosslinking medium has a great effect on the inner structure of the sponge. The homogeneous, porous structure of the sponge was remarkably collapsed in an aqueous crosslinking medium. However, the morphology of the sponge remained almost intact in a water/ethanol mixture crosslinking milieu. Mechanical properties of the collagen/chitosan sponge were significantly enhanced by EDC-mediated crosslinking. The potential of the sponge as a scaffold for tissue engineering was investigated using a Chinese hamster ovary cell (CHO-K1) line.
