| خلاصه مقاله | Bone is a kind of dynamic and vascularized tissue that possesses a great regenerative
ability. The matrix tissue encompasses various minerals (e.g., calcium, magnesium and
phosphorus materials), in which hydroxyapatite plays a key in terms of the mechanical
strength of the bone tissue. Bone tissue engineering revitalizes bone function and includes
scaffold, cell, and regulatory factors as a promising alternative to autografts and allografts
by providing biomaterial according to extracellular matrix architecture in order for
nutrient delivery and osteogenic differentiation.1 Poly(caprolactone) (PCL) is an important
aliphatic polymer, consisting of hexanoate units. It shows unique features for bone tissue
engineering, in large part due to its mechanical property and biodegradability. PCL is
synthesized by polycondensation of 6-hydroxyhexanoic acid and ring-opening
polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone (e-CL).2 Poly (ester-urethane-urea) (PEUU) was
synthesized based on diisocyanates, PCL and chain extender such as 1, 4-butane diamine.
The electrospinning method fabricates highly porous and thin fibers large surface areas,
ease of functionalization and excellent mechanical property for various applications. The
tissue engineering field utilizes the electrospinning method for scaffold preparation.3 In
the present study, electrospun scaffolds containing PEUU were prepared for bone tissue
engineering and regeneration. FT-IR, H-NMR, compression test, and SEM were performed
to evaluate the physico/chemical properties of the prepared scaffold. Proliferation and
differentiation of human adipose stem cell to osteoblast were investigated via MTT assay,
real-time PCR and alizarin red staining. |
