Abstract
Tissue engineering is a promising approach for generating or repairing living tissues. The development of innovative biomaterials for tissue engineering has the potential to address the unmet clinical needs in certain applications. However, before these biomaterials can be used in clinical settings, they must undergo preclinical testing to ensure safety and performance. The chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay is a preferred screening tool for studying biocompatibility, angiogenesis, and inflammation induced by biomaterials owing to ethical and economic considerations. This CAM-based platform increased the throughput of biomaterial testing for tissue engineering before in vivo testing. In this paper, we discuss the advantages of the CAM model. We also provided a step-by-step guide for implementing the CAM model in a research laboratory, along with tips and tricks for successfully running CAM assays. Finally, we present examples of biomaterials screened using CAM assays. CAM assay is a powerful in vivo model for assessing the angiogenic potential of tissue-engineered scaffolds. This guide provides a framework for conducting the assay, but specific experimental conditions should be optimized based on the scaffold material and the research question.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Biomedical Materials Research – Part B: Applied Biomaterials is a highly interdisciplinary peer-reviewed journal serving the needs of biomaterials professionals who design, develop, produce and apply biomaterials and medical devices. It has the common focus of biomaterials applied to the human body and covers all disciplines where medical devices are used. Papers are published on biomaterials related to medical device development and manufacture, degradation in the body, nano- and biomimetic- biomaterials interactions, mechanics of biomaterials, implant retrieval and analysis, tissue-biomaterial surface interactions, wound healing, infection, drug delivery, standards and regulation of devices, animal and pre-clinical studies of biomaterials and medical devices, and tissue-biopolymer-material combination products. Manuscripts are published in one of six formats:
• original research reports
• short research and development reports
• scientific reviews
• current concepts articles
• special reports
• editorials
Journal of Biomedical Materials Research – Part B: Applied Biomaterials is an official journal of the Society for Biomaterials, Japanese Society for Biomaterials, the Australasian Society for Biomaterials, and the Korean Society for Biomaterials. Manuscripts from all countries are invited but must be in English. Authors are not required to be members of the affiliated Societies, but members of these societies are encouraged to submit their work to the journal for consideration.
