Laser micromachining tissue engineering. The ability to controllably shape biomaterials on the microscale in two and especially three dimensions is important given the utility of these structures in guiding cellular growth differentiation gene expression and regeneration 1 4. Omenetto a b 1. Moreau a jessica p. The focused laser beam can be as small as 5 microns never goes dull and can process a wide range of materials human tissue to diamond. Laser micromachining by ablation is an advantageous process for advanced manufacturing offering great flexibility both in terms of the variety of materials that can be machined and the range of structures that can be produced. Robert langer in principles of tissue engineering third edition 2007. To date many approaches to engineering new tissue have emerged and they have all relied on vascularization from the host to provide permanent engraftment and mass transfer of oxygen and nutrients. Laser based three dimensional multiscale micropatterning of biocompatible hydrogels for customized tissue engineering scaffolds matthew b. This approach is analogous to cnc machining but the laser is the tool bit. Although this approach has been useful in many tissues it has not been as successful in thick complex tissues particularly those comprising the large vital organs such as the liver kidney and. The use of soft biocompatible materials however poses. Computer aided laser micromachining enables small amounts of material to be removed from bulk material in a controlled manner. These results confirm the utilization of fs laser machining as a viable method for creating a porous barrier substrate in tissue engineering platforms. Femtosecond laser micromachining has emerged in recent years as a new technique for micronano structure fabrication because of its applicability to virtually all kinds of materials in an easy one step process that is scalable.
