Catalytically grown carbon nanofibers (CNF) are a newly developed type of material produced from the decomposition of selected carbon-containing gases over metal particles. These materials consist of nano-sized graphite platelets separated a distance of at least 0.335 nm and stacked in various orientations with respect to the fiber axis. Such an arrangement results in a unique structure that is...

background: development of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine has led to designing scaffolds and their modification to provide a better microenvironment which mimics the natural niche of the cells. gelatin surface modification was applied to improve scaffold flexibility and cytocompatibility. methods: plla/pcl aligned fibrous scaffold was fabricated using electrospinning method. adscs...

Peripheral nerve injury is a serious clinical problem to be solved. There has been no breakthrough so far and neural tissue engineering offers a promising approach to promote the regeneration of peripheral neural injuries. In this study, emulsion electrospinning technique was introduced as a flexible and promising technique for the fabrication of random (R) and aligned (A) Poly(ε-caprolactone) ...

In native fibrocartilage, mechanotransduction allows the cells to perceive the physical microenvironment not only through topographical cues from the extracellular matrix, but also through mechanical cues, such as interstitial flow. To create a microenvironment that simultaneously integrates nanotopography and flow stimulus, we developed a biomimetic microfluidic device embedded with aligned na...

Abstract Purpose Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) and its regeneration continue to remain a significant medical burden worldwide. The current treatment strategies used treat PNI are often associated with multiple complications yet do not achieve complete motor sensory functions. Recently, synthetic biodegradable conduits have become one the most commonly repair small gaps in injury. But they shown...
