It is well known that surface topography plays an important role in cell behavior, including
adhesion, migration, orientation, elongation, proliferation and differentiation. Studying these …

Nerve regeneration is a complex biological phenomenon. Once the nervous system is
impaired, its recovery is difficult and malfunctions in other parts of the body may occur …

Our long-term goal is to develop an artificial implant as a conduit for axonal regeneration
after peripheral nerve injury. In this study, biodegradable, aligned poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) …

This study calculates the surface energy of polystyrene tissue culture plastic, silicon, silicon
dioxide and indium tin oxide, all of which have applications in tissue culture. The adhesion …

Polyethyleneimine (PEI) is a synthetic polymer commonly used as precursor base layer in
polyelectrolyte multilayer films. However, the biological properties of this cationic …

Weak cell-surface adhesion of cell lines to tissue culture surfaces is a common problem and
presents technical limitations to the design of experiments. To overcome this problem …

Tissue engineering using a combination of biomaterials and cells represents a new
approach to nerve repair. We have investigated the effect that extracellular matrix (ECM) …

Stem cells play essential roles in tissue regeneration in vivo via specific lineage
differentiation induced by environmental factors. In the past, biochemical signals were the …

Nerve injuries can be life-long debilitating traumas that severely impact patients' quality of
life. While many acellular neural scaffolds have been developed to aid the process of nerve …

Although significant progress has been made, delayed neovascularisation of tissue-
engineered constructs still remains challenging for the survival of constructs post-grafting …
