The drawbacks of autografts and allografts, which include donor site morbidity and variability in quality, have spurred research in the development of bioengineered ligaments. Herein, the design and development of a cost-effective bench-top 3D braiding machine that fabricates scalable and tunable bioengineered ligaments is described. It was demonstrated that braiding angle and picks per inch can be controlled with the bench-top braiding machine. Pore sizes within the reported range needed for vascularization and bone regeneration are demonstrated. By considering a one-to-one linear relationship between cross-sectional area and peak load, the bench-top braiding machine can theoretically fabricate bioengineered ligaments with a peak load that is 9× greater than the human ACL. This bench-top braiding machine is generalizable to all types of yarns and may be used for regenerative engineering applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":20936,"journal":{"name":"Regenerative Engineering and Translational Medicine","volume":"7 4","pages":"524-532"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8734580/pdf/nihms-1635563.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39802556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, due to a lack of insight regarding cell-material interactions at the nanoscale and subsequent downstream signaling, the clinical translation of many regenerative therapies is limited due to poor material integration, rapid clearance and complications such as graft-versus-host disease. This review paper is intended to outline our current understanding of cell-material interactions with the aim of highlighting potential areas for knowledge advancement or application in the field of regenerative medicine.

The most preferred is the biological method which involves plants and their extracts. Methods The silver nanoparticles were synthesized by a sunlight-driven aqueous extract (AE) of whole plant powder of Ascophyllum nodosum . Advanced techniques like high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HRSEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and particle size analysis were used to determine the nature of nanoparticles. Antioxidant, anti-fungal, and anti-leishmanial activities were evaluated. Result The techniques confirmed the formation of spherical particles of the desired range of size. Silver nanoparticles exhibited a much greater DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazine-hydrate) radical scavenging activity which was almost six to seven folds more than that exhibited by the AE alone. The anti-leishmanial and cytotoxic activities were evaluated on Leishmania donovani promastigote and amastigote. Conclusion The synthesized AgNPs showed remarkable DPPH radical scavenging ability owing to their antioxidant properties. The anti-leishmanial activity was exceptionally viable in both AE and AgNPs. The findings all together support the tendency of Ascophyllum nodosum to efficiently synthesized AgNPs which could be utilized for its anti-leishmanial properties.
