Novel nanofibers from blends of polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) and chitosan have been produced through an emulsion electrospinning process. The spinning solution employed polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as the emulsifier. PVA was extracted electrospun nanofibers, resulting in a final scaffold consisting blend PLGA chitosan. fraction mat adjusted 0 to 33%. Analyses by scanning transmission electron microscopy show uniform with homogenous distribution their cross section. Infrared spectroscopy...
Abstract The myocardium is unable to regenerate itself after infarct, resulting in scarring and thinning of the heart wall. Our objective was develop a patch buttress bypass scarred area, while allowing regeneration by incorporated cardiac stem/progenitor cells (CPCs). Polycaprolactone (PCL) fabricated as both sheets solvent casting, fibrous meshes electrospinning, potential patches, determine role topology proliferation phenotypic changes CPCs. Thiophene‐conjugated carbon nanotubes (T‐CNTs)...
A tissue-mimetic collagen-silver nanowire composite material has been developed that offers charge storage and injection capacities similar to conjugated polymer scaffolds while supporting proliferation of cardiomyocytes providing antimicrobial activity.
Noninvasive tracking of biomaterials is vital for determining the fate and degradation an implant in vivo , to show its role tissue regeneration. Current have no inherent capacity enable tracing but require labeling with, example, fluorescent dyes, or nanoparticles. Here a novel biocompatible fully conjugated electrospun scaffold described, based on semiconducting luminescent polymer that can be visualized situ after implantation using fluorescence imaging. The polymer, poly...
