The fabrication of various types of scaffolds using electrospinning has been greatly researched for tissue engineering applications in recent times. The rapid initial cell adhesion in electrospun scaffolds helps in the rapid recovery of graft sites. The characteristics of nanofibrous scaffolds can be improved by modifying the topological features and surface of the nanofibers. Previous studies have shown that the scaffold structure is related to a cell attachment ability. In this study, we modified the surface of the fibers to mimic celery structure. It was confirmed that solvent evaporation and polymer concentration influenced the formation of the surface. This structural property can improve the initial adhesion ability of cells. Cellulose acetate solutions were prepared and tested in various concentrations (15 wt%, 20 wt%, and 30 wt%). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), tensile test and cell experiments were performed to evaluate the physical properties and biocompatibility. The structure of the present nanofiber can be applied as a very effective scaffold and it is expected to have a positive effect in the tissue engineering field.

Mussel foot protein is widely known for candidate of strong adhesive materials. Six times fp-1 decapeptide repeats and fp-5 are chosen among the various type of foot protein and fused into (MAP) fp-151. Through various cell-adhesion analyses, we previously demonstrated that fp- 151 has the potential to be used as a cell or tissue bioadhesive. In the present study, to improve the cell-adhesion properties of fp-151, it was designed a new cell-adhesive protein, fp-151-RGD, which is a fusion with the GRGDSP residues, a RGD peptide sequence that has previously been identified at the cell-attachment site of fibronectin, at the C-terminus of fp-151. Also, recombinant fp-151- RGD maintained the advantages associated with fp-151, such as a high production yield in Escherichia coli and simple purification, it showed superior spreading ability, which is important for cell proliferation under serum-free conditions, as well as better cell-adhesion ability compared with other commercially produced cell-adhesion materials such as poly-L-lysine (PLL) and the naturally extracted MAP mixture Cell-Tak. The excellent adhesion and spreading abilities of fp- 151-RGD might be due to the fact that it utilizes three types of cell-binding mechanisms: DOPA adhesion of Cell-Tak, cationic binding force of PLL, and RGD sequence-mediated adhesion of fibronectin. Therefore, the new recombinant fp-151-RGD is suitable for use as a cell-adhesion material in cell culture or tissue engineering, and in any other area where efficient cell adhesion is required.

Due to the increasing needs for organ transplantation and a universal shortage of donated tissues, tissue engineering emerges as a useful approach to engineer functional tissues. Although different synthetic materials have been used to fabricate tissue engineering scaffolds, they have many limitations such as the biocompatibility concerns, the inability to support cell attachment, and undesirable degradation rate. Fibrin gel, a biopolymeric material, provides numerous advantages over synthetic materials in functioning as a tissue engineering scaffold and a cell carrier. Fibrin gel exhibits excellent biocompatibility, promotes cell attachment, and can degrade in a controllable manner. Additionally, fibrin gel mimics the natural blood-clotting process and self-assembles into a polymer network. The ability for fibrin to curein situhas been exploited to develop injectable scaffolds for the repair of damaged cardiac and cartilage tissues. Additionally, fibrin gel has been utilized as a cell carrier to protect cells from the forces during the application and cell delivery processes while enhancing the cell viability and tissue regeneration. Here, we review the recent advancement in developing fibrin-based biomaterials for the development of injectable tissue engineering scaffold and cell carriers.

In this article, chitosan/biphasic calcium phosphate (CS/BCP)nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning. From the culture of osteogenic cells, the biocompatibility of CS/BCP nanofibrous substrates was identified and increased by the photocrosslinking. The enhancement in cell attachment and proliferation was caused by the improvement in nanofibers’ mechanical properties. The biocompatibility to osteoblasts was also promoted with the content of BCP. The osteogenic differentiation in early, middle and late stage was encouraged by the addition of BCP on nanofibrous substrates. The CS/BCP nanofibers were highly specific to osteogenic cells, revealed by difficulties in the growth of non-osteogenic cells on this composite nanofibrous scaffold. The novel nanofibrous scaffolds showed great potential in the tissue engineering of bones.

Biodegradable poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) nanofibrous matrix containing gelatin was fabricated by electrospinning method. The average diameter of electrospun PHBV/Gelatin (1:1) nanofibers was 600 nm determined by FE-SEM. ATR-FTIR and ESCA measurements were used to confirm the presence of gelatin in PHBV/Gelatin nanofibers. Human fibroblasts' behavior on PHBV/Gelatin nanofibrous matrix has been investigated. Fibroblasts were well attached on the surface of control PHBV and PHBV/Gelatin nanofibers. Initial cell attachment on PHBV/Gelatin nanofibers was higher than that of control PHBV nanofibers. Gelatin has many RGD moiety that mediate cell attachment. From this reason, initial cell attachment increased on the surface of PHBV/Gelatin nanofibers. From the results, coelectrospinning of PHBV and gelatin is a promising method for tissue engineering scaffold.

Salt Leaching

Porous and bioactive composite scaffolds based on poly ε-caprolactone(PCL) and hydroxyapatite(HA) were successfully fabricated by solvent casting and salt leaching method. The scaffolds have interconnected pore structure with pore size ranging from 10μm to 500μm. The pore size of PCL scaffold and PCL/HA scaffold were similar to that of the salt particles. The pore walls became thick and the small pores on the surface of macropores were formed as the HA increased. MTT assay showed that HA content did not affect initial cell attachment in both PCL scaffolds and PCL/HA scaffolds. The osteoblasts proliferated in both scaffolds, but the cell number was higher in the PCL/HA composite scaffolds. It was found that the incorporation of hydroxyapatite enhances bone cell proliferation rather than initial cell attachment in PCL/HA composite scaffolds. The results suggest that the PCL/HA composite scaffolds have a potential for the bone tissue engineering applications.

Cardiovascular Implants

Electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds have been extensively used in several biomedical applications for tissue engineering due to their morphological resemblance to the extracellular matrix (ECM). Especially, there is a need for the cardiovascular implants to exhibit a nanostructured surface that mimics the native endothelium in order to promote endothelialization and to reduce the complications of thrombosis and implant failure. Thus, we herein fabricated poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds, to serve as coatings for cardiovascular implants and guide tissue regeneration. Oxygen plasma treatment was applied in order to modify the surface chemistry of the scaffold and its effect on cell attachment and growth was evaluated. The conditions of the surface modification were properly adjusted in order to define those conditions of the treatment that result in surfaces favorable for cell growth, while maintaining morphological integrity and mechanical behavior. Goniometry (contact angle measurements), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements were used to evaluate the morphological and chemical changes induced by the plasma treatment. Moreover, depth-sensing nanoindentation was performed to study the resistance of the plasma-treated scaffolds to plastic deformation. Lastly, the cell studies indicated that all scaffolds were cytocompatible, with the plasma-treated ones expressing a more pronounced cell viability and adhesion. All the above findings demonstrate the great potential of these biomimetic tissue-engineering constructs as efficient coatings for enhanced compatibility of cardiovascular implants.

Abstract Purpose Uterine anomalies are prevalent in women, and the major treatment assisted to them is hysterectomy as donor availability is extremely low. To overcome this, engineering uterine myometrium smooth muscle tissue has become very important. Several studies have shown that polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers are very effective in engineering smooth muscles, as this type of scaffold has structural similarities to the extracellular matrices of the cells. Here, we hypothesize that by electrospinning PCL nanofibers, they form a suitable scaffold for uterine tissue engineering. Methods Polycaprolactone nanofibrous scaffolds were fabricated, and surface modification was performed following two step wet chemistry method. First step is aminolysis which introduces the primary amine groups on the PCL scaffolds following which maltose is conjugated on the scaffolds. This was confirmed by the ninhydrin assay for the presence of amine groups. This was followed by ELLA assay where the presence of maltose on the scaffold was quantified. Modified scaffolds were further characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), contact angle analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). MTT assay, live-dead assay and actin staining were performed on the maltose immobilization to study the improvement of the cell attachment and proliferation rates on the modified scaffolds. Results Human uterine fibroblast (HUF) cells displayed significant proliferation on the maltose-modified PCL scaffolds, and they also exhibited appropriate morphology indicating that these modified fibers are highly suitable for uterine cell growth. Conclusion Our results indicate that the fabricated maltose PCL (MPCL) scaffolds would be a potential biomaterial to treat uterine injuries and promote regeneration. Lay Summary and Future Work Uterine anomalies are prevalent in women, and the major treatment is hysterectomy as donor availability is extremely low. Over the past few years, considerable efforts have been directed towards uterine tissue regeneration. This study is to design a tissue engineered scaffold that could act as a human uterine myometrial patch. We propose to create uterine fibroblast-based synthetic scaffolds that act in a condition similar to the intrauterine microenvironment where the embryos are embedded in the uterine wall. For understanding of the efficiency of the myometrial patch, functional characterization will be performed to study the effects of estrogen and prostaglandins on myometrial activity of the designed patch. Results from these experiments will assist a deeper understanding of how to construct a total bioengineered uterus which can substitute the uterus transplantation procedure, which nonetheless is in its initial stages of development.

Neural protheses have potential to restore nervous system functions lost by trauma or disease. Nanofabrication extends this approach to implants for stimulating and recording from single or small groups of neurons in the spinal cord and brain; however, tissue compatibility is a major limitation to their practical application. We are using a cell culture method for quantitatively measuring cell attachment to surfaces designed for nanofabricated neural prostheses.Silicon wafer test surfaces composed of 50-μm bars separated by aliphatic regions were fabricated using methods similar to a procedure described by Kleinfeld et al. Test surfaces contained either a single or double positive charge/residue. Cyanine dyes (diIC18(3)) stained the background and cell membranes (Fig 1); however, identification of individual cells at higher densities was difficult (Fig 2). Nuclear staining with acriflavine allowed discrimination of individual cells and permitted automated counting of nuclei using 3-D data sets from the confocal microscope (Fig 3). For cell attachment assays, LRM5 5 astroglial cells and astrocytes in primary cell culture were plated at increasing cell densities on test substrates, incubated for 24 hr, fixed, stained, mounted on coverslips, and imaged with a 10x objective.

Development of an artificial tissue by tissue engineering is witnessed to be one of the long lasting clarified solutions for the damaged tissue function restoration. To accomplish this, a scaffold is designed as a cell carrier in which the extracellular matrix (ECM) performs a prominent task of controlling the inoculated cell’s destiny. ECM composition, topography and mechanical properties lead to different types of interactions between cells and ECM components that trigger an assortment of cellular reactions via diverse sensing mechanisms and downstream signaling pathways. The polysaccharides in the form of proteoglycans and glycoproteins yield better outcomes when included in the designed matrices. Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains present on proteoglycans show a wide range of operations such as sequestering of critical effector morphogens which encourage proficient nutrient contribution toward the growing stem cells for their development and endurance. In this review we discuss how the glycosylation aspects are of considerable importance in everyday housekeeping functions of a cell especially when placed in a controlled environment under ideal growth conditions. Hydrogels made from these GAG chains have been used extensively as a resorbable material that mimics the natural ECM functions for an efficient control over cell attachment, permeability, viability, proliferation, and differentiation processes. Also the incorporation of non-mammalian polysaccharides can elicit specific receptor responses which authorize the creation of numerous vigorous frameworks while prolonging the low cost and immunogenicity of the substance.
