Bioactive peptide functionalized aligned cyclodextrin nanofibers for neurite outgrowth
Guidance of neurite extension and establishment of neural connectivity hold great importance for neural tissue regeneration and neural conduit implants. Although bioactive-epitope functionalized synthetic or natural polymeric materials have been proposed for the induction of neural regeneration, chemical modifications of these materials for neural differentiation still remain a challenge due to...
متن کاملCooperative effect of heparan sulfate and laminin mimetic peptide nanofibers on the promotion of neurite outgrowth.
Extracellular matrix contains an abundant variety of signals that are received by cell surface receptors contributing to cell fate, via regulation of cellular activities such as proliferation, migration and differentiation. Cues from extracellular matrix can be used for the development of materials to direct cells into their desired fate. Neural extracellular matrix (ECM) is rich in axonal grow...
متن کاملComparing Neurite Outgrowth Using Random and Aligned Electrospun Scaffolds
Introduction: Each year in the United States alone, approximately 11,000 individuals suffer from spinal cord injuries [1]. In order to help these individuals, various materials for neural scaffolds are being explored. These materials must mimic the extra-cellular matrix of the spinal cord to help promote cell differentiation and growth for proper recovery. The extracellular matrix is composed o...
متن کاملElectrospinning of cyclodextrin functionalized polyethylene oxide (PEO) nanofibers
By means of the electrospinning technique we have successfully synthesized cyclodextrin (CD) functionalized polyethylene oxide (PEO) nanofibers (PEO/CD) with the ultimate goal to develop functional nanowebs. Three different types of CDs; a-CD, b-CD and c-CD are incorporated individually in electrospun PEO nanofibers. The aqueous solutions containing different amount of PEO (3%, 3.5% and 4% (w/v...
متن کاملElectrospinning of cyclodextrin functionalized poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanofibers
Cyclodextrin functionalized PMMA nanofibers (PMMA/CD) were successfully produced by electrospinning technique with the goal to develop functional nanowebs. Bead-free uniform electrospun PMMA/CD nanofibers were obtained from a homogeneous solution of CDs and PMMA in dimethylformamide (DMF) using three different types of CDs, a-CD, b-CD and g-CD. The electrospinning conditions were optimized in o...
