Dual growth factor releasing multi-functional nanofibers for wound healing.
The objective of this research is to develop a dual growth factor-releasing nanoparticle-in-nanofiber system for wound healing applications. In order to mimic and promote the natural healing procedure, chitosan and poly(ethylene oxide) were electrospun into nanofibrous meshes as mimics of extracellular matrix. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was loaded within nanofibers to promote ang...
متن کاملConformal Tissue Scaffold with Multi-functional Porosity for Wound Healing
In tissue engineering and wound healing, porous scaffolds can stimulate the wound healing process by regenerating the damaged or diseased tissue. But when applied in wound area various forces like bandage, contraction and self weight act upon these visco-elastic scaffold/membrane and cause deformation. As a result, the geometry and the designed porosity change which eventually alters the desire...
متن کاملHuman recombinant epidermal growth factor in experimental corneal wound healing.
Human recombinant epidermal growth factor (hEGF) was evaluated in various corneal wound healing models in the rabbit. Human EGF accelerated epithelial wound healing in corneal reepithelialization, anterior-keratectomy, and alkali-burn models at concentrations of 10-500 micrograms/ml given four times daily (qid). In the corneal reepithelialization model, 100 micrograms/ml of hEGF qid produced a ...
متن کاملTransforming Growth Factor-β and Endoglin Signaling Orchestrate Wound Healing
Physiological wound healing is a complex process requiring the temporal and spatial co-ordination of various signaling networks, biomechanical forces, and biochemical signaling pathways in both hypoxic and non-hypoxic conditions. Although a plethora of factors are required for successful physiological tissue repair, transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) expression has been demonstrated throug...
متن کاملContinuous epidermal growth factor delivery in corneal epithelial wound healing.
PURPOSE To investigate the effects of a single prolonged exposure to recombinant epidermal growth factor on the healing of anterior keratotomy wounds in New Zealand white rabbits. METHODS After wounding, eyes were perfused for 1, 2, 4, and 8 hours with either epidermal growth factor solution at a concentration of 50 micrograms/ml or balanced saline solution using a Morgan therapeutic lens (Mo...
