Bio-electrospraying (BES) is becoming an attractive tool for the delivery of cells into scaffolds for tissue engineering applications. In this study, we aimed to electrospray human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and improve the efficiency of BES by designing a new customized multi-hole spinneret. We demonstrated that the multi-hole spinneret could produce continuous and stable jets during BES, and the efficiency was increased by 5–7 times. Morphological observations, trypan blue and sulforhodamine B assays revealed that the HUVECs electrosprayed using the multi-hole spinneret remained viable and proliferated at a rate similar to that of the controls. Thus, the new multi-hole nozzle can considerably improve output for BES without affecting cell morphology, viability, and proliferation.

The objective of this work was to investigate cell adhesion, Poly Glycolic Acid (PGA) and PGA/ collagen nano-fibers on the silicone membrane. PGA with the weight-mixing ration of 40% was fabricated through the electronspun technique. The behaviors of Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial cells on these scaffolds are evaluated. The highest cell adhesion was observed in the PGA/collagen fibers with the diameter of 500 nm. This study indicates the effect of nano-fibers on the Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial cells for better understanding of interactions of cells with scaffold materials. Such information will have important implications for implantable vascular tissue engineering constructs.
