Characterization of Chitosan Based Hybrid Nanofiber Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering
Polymeric nanofibers that mimic the structure and function of the natural extracellular matrix (ECM) are of great interest in tissue engineering as scaffolding materials to restore, maintain or improve the function of human tissues. Electrospinning has been recently developed as an effective technique for nanofiber fabrication. In our study, the electropsinning method is used to create hybrid n...
متن کاملBiodegradable Cell-Seeded Nanofiber Scaffolds for Neural Repair
Central and peripheral neural injuries are traumatic and can lead to loss of motor and sensory function, chronic pain, and permanent disability. Strategies that bridge the site of injury and allow axonal regeneration promise to have a large impact on restoring quality of life for these patients. Engineered materials can be used to guide axonal growth. Specifically, nanofiber structures can mimi...
متن کاملComparative study of porous hydroxyapatite/chitosan and whitlockite/chitosan scaffolds for bone regeneration in calvarial defects
Hydroxyapatite (HAP; Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) and whitlockite (WH; Ca18Mg2(HPO4)2(PO4)12) are widely utilized in bone repair because they are the main components of hard tissues such as bones and teeth. In this paper, we synthesized HAP and WH hollow microspheres by using creatine phosphate disodium salt as an organic phosphorus source in aqueous solution through microwave-assisted hydrothermal method....
متن کاملPerspectives of chitosan nanofiber/film scaffolds with bone marrow stromal cells in tissue engineering and wound dressing
Objective (s): Several methods have been proposed for repairing defects and damages, one of which is cell therapy. Bone marrow stromal cells seem to be suitable for this purpose. On the other hand, many biometric materials are used to improve and correct the defects in the body. Nanofibers are widely used in the medical industry, especially in tissue engineering, as scaffolds in wound healing a...
متن کاملGuiding Stem Cell Differentiation into Oligodendrocytes Using Graphene-Nanofiber Scaffolds
Damage to the central nervous system (CNS) from degenerative diseases or traumatic injuries is particularly devastating due the limited regenerative capabilities of the CNS. Among the current approaches, stem cell-based regenerative medicine has shown great promise in achieving significant functional recovery by taking advantage of the self-renewal and differentiation capabilities of stem cells...
