Patterned nanofiber meshes for biomedical applications
The aim of this work was to prepare nanofibre meshes using various collectors with different geometries and with specific dimensions and to evaluate how those patterns can affect the properties of the meshes. The underlying hypothesis addressed in this study is if it is possible to control the architecture of the fibre meshes by tailoring the geometry of the collector. To test this hypothesis, ...
متن کاملElectrospinning collagen and hyaluronic acid nanofiber meshes.
Collagen and hyaluronic acid (HA) are main components of the extracellular matrix and have been utilized in electrospinning; a technique that creates nanosized fibers for tissue scaffolds. A collagen/HA polymer solution was electrospun into a scaffold material for osteoporosis patients who have reduced bone strength. To synthesize nanofibers, a high voltage was applied to the polymer solution t...
متن کاملThe taming of the cell: shape-memory nanopatterns direct cell orientation
We report here that the direction of aligned cells on nanopatterns can be tuned to a perpendicular direction without use of any biochemical reagents. This was enabled by shape-memory activation of nanopatterns that transition from a memorized temporal pattern to the original permanent pattern by heating. The thermally induced shape-memory nanopatterns were prepared by chemically crosslinking se...
متن کاملShape-Preserving Meshes
Smooth surfaces are approximated by discrete triangle meshes for applications in computer graphics. Various discrete operators have been proposed for estimating differential quantities of triangle meshes, such as curvatures, for geometric processing tasks. Since a smooth surface can be approximated by many different triangle meshes, we propose to investigate which triangle mesh yields an estima...
متن کاملSignaling memory from cell shape
he shape of cells controls the speed and duration of signaling and can maintain short-term signaling memory in cellular subdomains, report Craske et al. on page 1147. In response to stimulation, signaling molecules move through cells to newly available binding sites at a rate consistent with random diffusion. In round cells, such diffusible signals reach different regions of the membrane at nea...
