• Coating 3D Printed Polycaprolactone Scaffolds with Nanocellulose Promotes Growth and Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells 

      Elsebahy, Ahmad Rashad Saad Mohamed; Mohamed-Ahmed, Samih; Ojansivu, Miina; Berstad, Kaia; Yassin, Mohammed Ahmed; Kivijärvi, Tove; Heggset, Ellinor Bævre; Syverud, Kristin; Mustafa, Kamal Babikeir Eln (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      3D printed polycaprolactone (PCL) has potential as a scaffold for bone tissue engineering, but the hydrophobic surface may hinder optimal cell responses. The surface properties can be improved by coating the scaffold with ...
    • Inflammatory responses and tissue reactions to wood-Based nanocellulose scaffolds 

      Elsebahy, Ahmad Rashad Saad Mohamed; Suliman, Salwa; Mustafa, Manal; Pedersen, Torbjørn Østvik; Campodoni, Elisabetta; Sandri, Monica; Syverud, Kristin; Mustafa, Kamal Babikeir Eln (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Two wood-derived cellulose nanofibril (CNF) porous scaffolds were prepared by TEMPO-oxidation and carboxymethylation. The effects of these scaffolds on the production of inflammatory cytokines by human macrophage-like cells ...
    • Polymeric 3D scaffolds for tissue regeneration: Evaluation of biopolymer nanocomposite reinforced with cellulose nanofibrils 

      Campodoni, Elisabetta; Heggset, Ellinor Bævre; Elsebahy, Ahmad Rashad Saad Mohamed; Ramírez-Rodríguez, Gloria; Mustafa, Kamal Babikeir Eln; Syverud, Kristin; Tampieri, Anna; Sandri, Monica (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Biopolymers such as gelatin (Gel) and cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) have many of the essential requirements for being used as scaffolding materials in tissue regeneration; biocompatibility, surface chemistry, ability to ...
    • Wood-based nanocellulose and bioactive glass modified gelatin-alginate bioinks for 3D bioprinting of bone cells 

      Ojansivu, Miina; Elsebahy, Ahmad Rashad Saad Mohamed; Ahlinder, Astrid; Massera, Jonathan; Mishra, Ayush; Syverud, Kristin; Finne-Wistrand, Anna; Miettinen, Susanna; Mustafa, Kamal Babikeir Eln (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      A challenge in the extrusion-based bioprinting is to find a bioink with optimal biological and physicochemical properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of wood-based cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) and ...
