Tissue engineering is a medical technology intended to replace or regenerate the damaged or lost tissue or organs by utilizing three elements of cells, biological/physical signals and a scaffold, Regenerations of bones, vessels, cartilages, bladders and skins have been reported to be successful in clinical by employing tissue engineering technology, We developed a new scaffold for its application in tissue engineering by employing biocompatible polymers such
as hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate and poly(ethylene oxide). Bone tissue engineering has been tried by employing glycosaminoglycan based hydrogel as a scaffold. The hydrogel has been fabricated through in situ Michael type addition reaction between acrylate of hyaluronic acid and thiols of poly (ethylene oxide). After characterization of derivatives of hyaluronic acid
and poly(ethylene oxide) with various analytical tools such as FTIR, NMR, XPS, the synthesized hydrogel was evaluated for its application in tissue engineering. Swelling behaviors, gel formation, compression test were performed for its physical evaluations. In vitro tests such as cell viability, cell toxicity have shown its excellent biocompatibilty. In vivo in rat calvarial defect model demonstrated induction of bone tissue formation over several weeks. Analysis of the regenerated bone was performed with histological methods.
