The in vitro responses of Schwann cells (RT4-D6P2T, a schwannoma cell line derived from
a chemically induced rat peripheral neurotumor) on various types of electrospun fibrous …

Peripheral nerve regeneration can be enhanced by the stimulation of formation of bands of
Büngner prior to implantation. Aligned electrospun poly (ε-caprolactone)(PCL) fibers were …

The development of biodegradable polymeric scaffolds with surface properties that
dominate interactions between the material and biological environment is of great interest in …

A series of polymeric biomaterials including poly (methyl acrylate)(PMA), chitosan (CHT),
poly (ethyl acrylate)(PEA), poly (hydroxyethyl acrylate)(PHEA), and a series of random …

In the present contribution, the potential for use of the ultrafine electrospun fiber mats of poly
(3-hydroxybutyrate)(PHB) and poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate)(PHBV) as …

Background Peripheral nerve regeneration across large gaps is clinically challenging.
Scaffold design plays a pivotal role in nerve tissue engineering. Recently, nanofibrous …

Attachment to and proliferation on the substrate are deemed important considerations when
Schwann cells (SCs) are to be seeded in synthetic nerve grafts. Attachment is a prerequisite …

Nanostructured biocomposite scaffolds of poly (l-lactide)(PLLA) blended with collagen (coll)
or hydroxyapatite (HA), or both for tissue engineering application, were fabricated by …

Chitosan or poly (N-acetyl-d-glucosamine-co-d-glucosamine) with a degree of deacetylation
of about 85% was fabricated into nanofibrous membranes by electrospinning from 7% w/v …

Matured Schwann cells play a vital role in promoting regeneration and restoration of
functional peripheral nervous tissue. In the present study, two dimensional film, three …
