Evaluation of Porous TiNi-based Alloy as a Scaffold for Liver Tissue Engineering

Abstract

Complex analysis of development of cells of liver – hepatocytes in the biocompatible scaffold, fabricated of porous-permeable TiNi-based alloy has been performed. Specific stages of development of cellular population in pores of scaffold are displayed in the present investigation. The stepwise characteristic of developing of hepatocytes in porous-permeable structure from TiNi-based alloy is demonstrated. Nanoporous surface of pores in incubator permit cells to be reliably fixed and produce growth to cellular colonies, and porous-permeable structure of scaffold allows penetrating to nutrients from environment during all time of investigation in vivo. Examination on CCl4-induced hepatitis has displayed effective antitoxic activity of population of hepatocytes in scaffold from TiNi-based alloy and their prolonged effect.
