Abstract
One of the key and actively developing areas of regenerative medicine is tissue-engineering. There is no doubt that the use of tissue-engineering products can have a significant impact on the efficiency of repair of damaged tissues and organs. However, before being used in clinical practice, tissue-engineering products require thorough preclinical studies to confirm their safety and efficacy, both with in vitro models and in experimental animals. This paper presents preclinical studies of a tissue-engineered construct, based on a hydrogel biopolymer scaffold carrier (consisting of blood plasma cryoprecipitate and collagen) with encapsulated mesenchymal stem cells, to evaluate its biocompatibility in vivo. The results were analyzed using histomorphology and transmission electron microscopy. It was shown that when implanted into animal (rat) tissues, the implants were completely replaced by connective tissue components. We also confirmed that no acute inflammation occurred in response to the scaffold implantation. The observed processes of cell recruitment to the scaffold from the surrounding tissues, the active formation of collagen fibers and the absence of acute inflammation testified that the regeneration process was ongoing in the implantation area. Thus, the presented tissue-engineered construct shows promise for becoming an effective tool for regenerative medicine in the future and may be used, in particular, to repair soft tissues.
