objective: in this study we introduced an rgd-containing peptide of collagen iv origin that possesses potent cell adhesion and proliferation properties. this peptide was immobilized on a nanofibrous polycaprolactone/gelatin scaffold after which we analyzed human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hbmscs) adhesion and proliferation on this peptide-modified scaffold. methods: nanofibrous...

Chitosan is a cheap resource, which is widely used in biomedical applications due to its biocompatible and antibacterial properties. In this study, composite nanofibrous membranes of chitosan (CS) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) loaded with antibiotics at different ratios were successfully fabricated by electrospinning. The composite nanofibers were subjected to further analysis by scanning elect...

A versatile and convenient way to produce bioactive poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds is described. PLA and PCL are extensively used as biocompatible scaffold materials for tissue engineering. Here, biobased nano graphene oxide dots (nGO) are incorporated in PLA or PCL electrospun scaffolds during the electrospinning process aiming to enhan...

Dear Friends, Nanofibrous scaffolds have been a major revolution in the field of tissue engineering which may improve the health and quality of life by enhancing tissue function. These are the artificial extracellular matrices which offer natural surroundings for tissue formation. Owing to their high surface to volume ratio, nanofibrous scaffolds increase cell adhesion, proliferation, and diffe...

purpose: to develop a nanofibrous polycaprolacton (pcl) substrate for limbal stem cell (lsc) expansion that can serve as a potential alternative substrate to replace human amniotic membrane. methods: the human limbal stem cells (lscs) were used to evaluate the biocompatibility of substrates (nanofibrous scaffold, and human amniotic membrane) regarding cellular phenotypic profile, viability, pro...

aligned and random nanocomposite nanofibrous scaffolds were electrospun from polycaprolactone (pcl), poly (vinyl alcohol) (pva) and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nha). the morphology and mechanical characteristics of the nanofibers were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy and tensile testing, respectively. scanning electron microscopy revealed fibers with an average diameter of 123 ± 3...

In this study, randomly oriented hydroxyethyl cellulose/polyvinyl alcohol (HEC/PVA) nanofibers were fabricated by electrospinning. The blend solutions of HEC/PVA with different weight ratio of HEC to PVA were prepared using water as solvent to fabricate nanofibers. These nanofibrous scaffolds were coated with bone-like apatite by immersing into 10x simulated body fluid (SBF) for different time ...

among the synthetic polymers, poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (phbv) microbial polyester is one of the biocompatible and biodegradable copolymers in the nanomedicine scope. phbv has key points and suitable properties to support cellular adhesion, proliferation and differentiation of nanofibers. nanofibers are noticeably employed in order to enhance the performance of biomaterials,...
