Abstract The tissue engineering study strategies for repairing and maintenance of alive tissues, and for such, the cells and the biomaterials are widely studied, once they form the systems responsible for the success of the tissue engineering. The behaviour of the cells depends on their interaction with the biomaterials for the formation of new tissues. Several technologies such as three dimensional printing and bioprinting have been arising for the development of new strategies to improve the repair and maintenance of tissues. The biomaterials used for these technologies are limited because they must show adequate properties for processing and also for keeping the cells viability. The cellulose chemically modified with TEMPO reagent is biocompatible and shows interesting properties for shaping by ionic complexation. In this vein, the proposal of this research project is the use of chemically modified cellulose hydrogel for incorporation of cells, followed by extrusion in form of fibers. The capability of fiber formation and maintenance of the cells viability will be the parameters to evaluate the efficiency of the material as a bionk for bioprinting application. (AU) | |
