Novel silicificated PVAc/POSS composite nanofibrous mat via facile electrospinning technique: Potential scaffold for hard tissue engineering

A Comparative Study on In Vitro Osteogenic Priming Potential of Electron Spun Scaffold PLLA/HA/Col, PLLA/HA, and PLLA/Col for Tissue Engineering Application

“…Although a number of previous studies have reported on the in vitro biocompatibility of the electrospun scaffolds using cell culture, most of them have used different immortal cell lines [8], [16]–[17]. Herein, we tested the potential of the fabricated scaffolds to induce differentiation of human bone marrow stromal cells towards osteogenic lineage without supplementation of growth factors.…”

Functionalized polyhedral oligosilsesquioxane (POSS) based composites for bone tissue engineering: synthesis, computational and biological studies

“…[19][20][21] In addition, it was proved that these nanostructured materials can stimulate important biological responses at nanoscopic dimensions, such as cell adhesion and apatite formation. 22,23 In this study, we exploited the useful functionalization of cubic silsesquioxanes with (RSiO 3/2 ) 8 formula in order to afford POSS substrates containing suitable functional groups able to form a covalent bond with the chitosan structure. The insertion of a reactive olen moiety 24 at the organic side chain (group R) of heptaisobutyl-POSS, allowed the effective microwave assisted 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction with the N-methyl-C-alkoxycarbonyl nitrone 1, affording the corresponding isoxazole derivatives 3a,b, 4a,b and 5b, containing an ethoxycarbonyl group at the C-3 position of heterocyclic nucleus.…”

γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles filled polyvinyl alcohol as potential biomaterial for tissue engineering scaffold

“…Previous studies have reported the range of parameter settings of the electrospinning process on various polymeric blends using fiber diameter as their sole response for consideration (Abdal-hay et al, 2013;Brun et al, 2011;Ha et al, 2013;Haslauer et al, 2012;Salifu et al, 2011;Wang and Wang, 2012;Zhang, 2011). In fact, we have also done some work on electrospinning process for PVA blends (Fallahiarezoudar et al, 2015).…”
