OBJECTIVES Cardiomyocytes have small potentials for renovation and proliferation in adult life. The most challenging goal in the field of cardiovascular tissue engineering is the creation of an engineered heart muscle. Tissue engineering with a combination of stem cells and nanofibrous scaffolds has attracted interest with regard to Cardiomyocyte creation applications. Human adipose-derived ste...

Polymeric nanofibers that mimic the structure and function of the natural extracellular matrix (ECM) are of great interest in tissue engineering as scaffolding materials to restore, maintain or improve the function of human tissues. Electrospinning has been recently developed as an effective technique for nanofiber fabrication. In our study, the electropsinning method is used to create hybrid n...

Scaffold provides a suitable medium for cell growing and drug delivery while enhancing the cell transplantation efficiency. In this project, nanofibrous scaffolds were fabricated through electrospinning of Polycaprolactone (PCL) and Gelatin (GE). Processing parameters and solution parameters were optimized to achieve the desired properties of PCL/GE nanofibers. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM...

Nanofibrous scaffolds produced by electrospinning have attracted much attention, recently. Aligned and random nanofibrous scaffolds of poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA), poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and nanohydroxyapatite  (nHA) were fabricated by electrospinning method in this study. The composite nanofibrous scaffolds were subjected to detailed analysis. Morphological investigations revealed that the...

OBJECTIVE Assessments of cell reactions such as motility, orientation and activation to the topography of the substratum will assist with the fabrication of a proper implantable scaffold for future tissue engineering applications.The current challenge is to analyze the orientation effect of elecrospun nanofibers of poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL) on viability and proliferation of mouse embryonic st...

Composite nanofibers of biopolymers and inorganic materials have been widely explored as tissue engineering scaffolds because of their superior structural, mechanical and biological properties. In this study, magnesium ferrite (Mg-ferrite) based composite nanofibers were synthesized using an electrospinning technique. Mg-ferrite nanoparticles were first synthesized using the reverse micelle met...

Abstract In this study, composite nanofiber films for the wound dressing application were prepared with silk fibroin (SF) and polycaprolactone (PCL) by electrospinning techniques, SF/PCL characterized combined techniques of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), equilibrium water content, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer test, X-ray diffraction (XRD) cell viability test. The results indicat...

Optically transparent membranes from bacterial cellulose (BC)/polycaprolactone (PCL) have been prepared by impregnation of PCL acetone solution into dried BC membranes. UV-Vis measurements showed an increase on transparency in BC/PCL membrane when compared with pristine BC. The good transparency of the BC/PCL can be related to the presence of BC nanofibers associated with deposit of PCL nano-si...
