Abstract:
This invention relates to a bone regeneration product comprising at least one stem cell, at least one scaffold, and at least one stem cell. The stem cells suitable for this invention may comprise stem cells suitable for a dense bone regeneration, stem cells suitable for a spongy bone regeneration, or a combination thereof. The bone regeneration product may further comprise a growth factor. This invention also relates to a bone regeneration method and treatment of any bone that has a critical size defect. This invention also relates to a scaffold. This invention further relates to a 3D printed scaffold comprising hydroxyapatite (HA) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP). This invention also relates to a scaffold comprising a polymer. The polymer of this invention may be prepared by using photocurable polymers and/or monomers. The scaffold of this invention may comprise a growth factor and a small molecule. The small molecule N may be a Smurf1 inhibitor.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices including a light guide tool for multi-axis additive manufacturing. The light guide tool includes a tubular light guide. The tubular light guide may be made from an optically transmissive material enclosed by one or more reflective side walls that are interposed between opposing optically transmissive ends. The light guide tool includes an optical coupling fixed to a first end of the optically transmissive ends of the tubular light guide. The optical coupling is configured to couple to a lens. The light guide tool includes a transparent non-stick coating. The transparent non-stick coating is adhered over a second end of the optically transmissive ends of the tubular light guide. The light guide tool includes a lens. The lens is coupled to the optical coupling and configured to emit a two-dimensional light pattern.
Abstract:
This disclosure generally relates to a ceramic scaffold. This disclosure particularly relates to a ceramic scaffold useful for bone regenerations. This disclosure also relates to a ceramic scaffold comprising hydroxyapatite (HA), tricalcium phosphate (TCP), or a mixture thereof. This disclosure also relates to a ceramic scaffold with high mechanical strength and flexibility. This disclosure further relates to a ceramic scaffold manufactured through a three-dimensional (3D) printing process, methods of manufacturing a ceramic scaffold and methods of replacing bone in a subject using the ceramic scaffold.
