The nanofibrous scaffolds were obtained by co-electrospinning PHBV and collagen Type I in HIFP. The resulting fiber diameters were in the range between 300 and 600 nm. The nanofiber surfaces were characterized by ATR-FTIR, ESCA and AFM. The PHBV and collagen components of the PHBV-Col nanofibrous scaffold were biodegraded by PHB depolymerase and a collagenase Type I aqueous solution, respectively. It was found, from the cell-culture experiment, that the PHBV-Col nanofibrous scaffold accelerated the adhesion of the NIH 3T3 cell compared to the PHBV nanofibrous scaffold, thus showing a good tissue engineering scaffold.

Biodegradable nanofibrous poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) scaffold was prepared by an electrospinning process for use in tissue regeneration. The nanofiber scaffold was treated with oxygen plasma and then simultaneously in situ grafted with hydrophilic acrylic acid (AA) to obtain PLLA-g-PAA. The fiber diameter, pore size, and porosity of the electrospun nanofibrous PLLA scaffold were estimated as $250\sim750nm,\;\sim30{\mu}m$, and 95%, respectively. The ultimate tensile strength was 1.7 MPa and the percent elongation at break was 120%. Although the physical and mechanical properties of the PLLA-g-PAA scaffold were comparable to those of the PLLA control, a significantly lower contact angle and significantly higher ratio of oxygen to carbon were notable on the PLLA-g-PAA surface. After the fibroblasts were cultured for up to 6 days, cell adhesion and proliferation were much improved on the nanofibrous PLLA-g-PAA scaffold than on either PLLA film or unmodified nanofibrous PLLA scaffold. The present work demonstrated that the applications of plasma treatment and hydrophilic AA grafting were effective to modify the surface of electrospun nanofibrous polymer scaffolds and that the altered surface characteristics significantly improved cell adhesion and proliferation.

In this study, we compared the efficiency of osteoblast differentiation media (ODM) containing three distinct reagent combinations in osteoblastic differentiation of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) in monolayer culture. In addition, we analyzed growth and differentiation of hBMSCs on silk scaffolds and examined the bone-forming activity of a nanofibrous silk scaffold in a tibia diaphysis defect model of a rat hind limb with intramedullary nailing. Although all three ODM increased alkaline phosphatase activity to a comparable extent, the ODM containing bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) was found to be significantly less effective in promoting mineral deposition than the others. Growth of hBMSCs on sponge-form silk scaffolds was faster than on nanofibrous ones, while osteoblastic differentiation was apparent in the cells grown on either type of scaffold. By contrast, bone formation was observed only at the edge of the nanofibrous scaffold implanted in the tibia diaphysis defect, suggesting that use of the silk scaffold alone is not sufficient for the reconstitution of the long bone defect. Since silk scaffolds can support cell growth and differentiation in vitro, loading MSCs on scaffolds might be necessary to improve the bone-forming activity of the scaffold in the long bone defect model.

전기방사법에 의해 폴리스테렌 나노섬유 부직포를 제조하였고, 간세포의 접착을 유도하기 위해 간세포접착 리간드인 Poly[N-p-vinylbenzyl-O-$\beta$-D-galactopyranocyl-($1{\rightarrow}4$)-D-gluconamide](PVLA)를 나노섬유의 표면에 코팅하였다. 얻어진 나노섬유는 평균직경이 500 nm이었고 분광학적인 방법을 통해 PS 나노섬유 표면의 개질 여부를 확인하였다. 장기간 배양시의 간세포 생존율을 MTT법으로 조사한 결과 기존의 세포배양접시에서는 급격하게 세포생존율이 감소함에 비해 PVLA가 코팅된 나노섬유상에서는 생존율이 서서히 감소하였으며 약 3주간에 걸쳐 간세포가 생존율이 유지되었다. 간세포의 대표적인 기능인 알부민분비 및 요소분해능을 측정한 결과 기존의 세포배양접시에서는 급격하게 간세포기능이 저하되었지만, PVLA가 코팅된 나노섬유상에서는 약 3주정도 초기의 간세포기능을 유지하는 것이 밝혀졌다.

In this study, we propose a new scaffold fabrication method, "direct electro-hydrodynamic jet process," using the initial jet of an electrospinning process and ethanol media as a target. The fabricated threedimensional (3D) fibrous structure was configured with multilayered microsized struts consisting of randomly entangled micro/nanofibrous architecture, similar to that of native extracellular matrixes. The fabrication of the structure was highly dependent on various processing parameters, such as the surface tension of the target media, and the flow rate and weight fraction of the polymer solution. As a tissue regenerative material, the 3D fibrous scaffold was cultured with preosteoblasts to observe the initial cellular activities in comparison with a solid-freeform fabricated 3D scaffold sharing a similar structural geometry. The cell-culture results showed that the newly developed scaffold provided outstanding microcellular environmental conditions to the seeded cells (about 3.5-fold better initial cell attachment and 2.1-fold better cell proliferation).

Extracellular matrix(ECM) is composed of the ground materials(proteoglycan) and nano size diameter fibrous proteins(ex. collagens) that together form a composite-like structure. In this study, fibrous scaffold with biomimetic architecture based on collagen nanofibers interpenetrated in PLGA/chitosan microfibrous matrix. Chitosan was selected for its structure similarity to glycosaminoglycan and neutralizing capacity for PLGA acidic metabolite. Collagen nanofiber were prepared by electrospinning. (omitted)

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is generated from citrus gel by Gluconacetobacter hansenii TL-2C. BC has good properties such as high-burst pressure, high-water contact and the ultrafine highly nanofibrous structure of mimic natural extracellular matrix (ECM) for tissue engineering. In this study, acrylic acid (AAc) was grafted onto BC surfaces under aqueous conditions using gamma-ray irradiation, and then immobilized gelatin onto AAc-g-BC. The characterization of scaffolds was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), toluidine blue O (TBO) assay. Morphology of gelatin and AAc incorporation onto BC nanofibers did not changed. Our study suggests that gelatin-immobilized BC nanofibers scaffold has a potentiality to fabricate 3D nanofibrous scaffolds for tissue engineering.

Silk fibroin scaffolds were examined as a biomaterial option for tissue-engineered cartilage-like tissue. In tissue engineering for cartilage repair using a scaffold, initial chondrocyte-material interactions are important for the following cell behaviors. In this study, the surface of nanofibrous silk fibroin (NSF) meshes was modified by a microwave-induced argon plasma treatment in order to improve the cytocompatibility of the meshes used as cartilaginous grafts. In addition, the effects of a plasma treatment on the cellular behavior of chondrocytes on NSF were examined. The plasma treatment resulted in an increase in the hydrophilicity of NSF meshes suggesting that the cytocompatibility of the mesh might be improved. Furthermore, the human articular chondrocytes showed higher viability on the surface-modified NSF meshes. These results suggest that the surface modification of NSF meshes by plasma can enhance the cellular behavior of chondrocytes and may be used in tissue engineering.
