“…Briefly, the total RNA of indicated samples were isolated by MagneSil @ Total RNA mini-isolation system through recommended procedures [ 52â54 ] after 4 days of cell culture. Following cDNA synthesis and quantitative fluorescence testing by Shanghai Daixuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd, data were analyzed using the 2 âÎÎCt method, and β -actin was chosen as the housekeeping gene [ 55 , 56 ]. The primers of the osteogenic characteristic and housekeeping genes used in this study are listed in Table 1 .…”
Due to the innate extracellular matrix mimicking features, fibrous materials exhibited great application potential in biomedicine. In developing excellent fibrous biomaterial, it is essential to reveal the corresponding inherent fiber features' effects on cell behaviors. Due to the inevitable âinterferenceâ cell adhesions to the background or between adjacent fibers, it is difficult to precisely reveal the inherent fiber diameter effect on cell behaviors by using a traditional fiber mat. A single-layer and parallel-arranged polycaprolactone fiber pattern platform with an excellent non-fouling background is designed and constructed herein. In this unique material platform, the âinterferenceâ cell adhesions through interspace between fibers to the environment could be effectively ruled out by the non-fouling background. The âinterferenceâ cell adhesions between adjacent fibers could also be excluded from the sparsely arranged (SA) fiber patterns. The influence of fiber diameter on stem cell behaviors is precisely and comprehensively investigated based on eliminating the undesired âinterferenceâ cell adhesions in a controllable way. On the SA fiber patterns, small diameter fiber (SA-D1, D1 means one Îźm in diameter) may seriously restrict cell proliferation and osteogenesis when compared to the middle (SA-D8) and large (SA-D56) ones and SA-D8 shows the optimal osteogenesis enhancement effect. At the same time, the cells present similar proliferation ability and even the highest osteogenic ability on the densely arranged (DA) fiber patterns with small diameter fiber (DA-D1) when compared to the middle (DA-D8) and large (DA-D56) ones. The âinterferenceâ cell adhesion between adjacent fibers under dense fiber arrangement may be the main reason for inducing these different cell behavior trends along with fiber diameters. Related results and comparisons have illustrated the effects of fiber diameter on stem cell behaviors more precisely and objectively, thus providing valuable reference and guidance for developing effective fibrous biomaterials.
“…In this review, we are more focused on its unique application in the fields of cell-material interactions, soft tissue engineering, and flexible bioelectronic devices. As for the other important biomedical applications, such as wound dressing, hard tissue engineering and drug delivery etc ., extensive descriptions could be seen from previous publications [ 28 , 29 , [109] , [110] , [111] , [112] , [113] , [114] , [115] , [116] , [117] ].…”
