About
Seung-Hwan Jegal is a leading figure in bone tissue engineering, whose work bridges advanced materials science and stem cell biology. His research focuses on developing novel, bioactive scaffolds for regenerative medicine, with a particular emphasis on creating optimal microenvironments for stem cell differentiation. Jegal’s most cited work, “Development of Robotic Dispensed Bioactive Scaffolds and Human Adipose–Derived Stem Cell Culturing for Bone Tissue Engineering” (2009, 25 citations), introduced a groundbreaking approach: using robotic dispensing to fabricate three-dimensional scaffolds from bioactive glass-polycaprolactone composites. This technique allowed for precise control over pore architecture and surface mineralization, creating an ideal substrate for human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs). By demonstrating that these scaffolds could effectively support stem cell attachment and osteogenic differentiation, Jegal provided a powerful, scalable platform for bone repair. His contributions have helped shift the field toward more reproducible, customizable scaffold designs, and his work remains a key reference for researchers seeking to combine additive manufacturing with stem cell therapies for orthopedic applications.
