Electrospun nanofibers for neural tissue engineering.
Biodegradable nanofibers produced by electrospinning represent a new class of promising scaffolds to support nerve regeneration. We begin with a brief discussion on the electrospinning of nanofibers and methods for controlling the structure, porosity, and alignment of the electrospun nanofibers. The methods include control of the nanoscale morphology and microscale alignment of the nanofibers, ...
متن کاملApplications of electrospun nanofibers in neural tissue engineering
Autografting and synthetic nerve grafts are options clinically to repair peripheral nerve defects which can occur due to trauma or a surgery. However, autografting suffers from limited donor site availability and synthetic nerve grafts have low efficiencies in repairing nerve defects. Recently electrospun nanofibers have emerged as an alternative approach to remedy these deficiencies. Electrosp...
متن کاملSynthesis of Polypyrrole Coated SnO2-ZnO Electrospun Nanofibers via Vapor Phase Polymerization Method
This paper reports the synthesis of polypyrrole coated SnO2/ZnOelectrospunnanofibers via vapor phase polymerization method. In order to prepare one dimensional (SnO2- ZnO)/polypyrrole with the core sheath structure, first SnO2-ZnO composite nanofibers were synthesized via electrospinning method followed by adsorption of Fe 3+ on the surface of the SnO2-ZnO nanofibers and finally pyrrole w...
متن کاملThe potential applications of fibrin-coated electrospun polylactide nanofibers in skin tissue engineering
Fibrin plays an important role during wound healing and skin regeneration. It is often applied in clinical practice for treatment of skin injuries or as a component of skin substitutes. We prepared electrospun nanofibrous membranes made from poly(l-lactide) modified with a thin fibrin nanocoating. Fibrin surrounded the individual fibers in the membrane and also formed a thin fibrous mesh on sev...
متن کاملElectrospun Nanofibers in Tissue Engineering
The field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is a fast growing scientific field. Many diseases and injuries that result in the loss of organ or tissue functions currently lack treatments which restore those functions and the patient to a desirable quality of life. Many current treatments could greatly benefit from incorporation of bioengineered organs and tissues, and investigation...
