Functionalized aligned conductive microfibers for application in tissue engineering

Original language description

Microfibrous scaffolds mimic the features of the native extracellular matrix, which in turn directs numerous aspects of cellular organization and survival. Microfibrous constructs have been used extensively as potential tissue engineering platforms. It is generally hypothesized that a close imitation of the extracellular matrix by microfibers will provide environmental or physical cues to cells.[1]Classically, electrically conducting materials and fibrous scaffolds have been studied separately. However, electrically conducting fibers recently drew attention as tissue engineering scaffolds.[2] They contain both microfibrous features and electrical activity and they are valuable in actively modulating cell functions. Among the conductive polymers for biological applications, polypyrrole (PPy) is the most thoroughly investigated one.[3]In order to extend possibilities of tissue engineering on conductive surfaces it is necessary to modify them with suitable derivatives. Our research is focused on the synthesis of cyclodextrin (CD) modified PPy derivatives. CDs are cyclic oligosaccharides well-known for the ability to include various guests in their cavity in water environment. The CD-PPy covered microfibers thus open the way for versatile conductive material which can bind on its surface biomolecules enhancing cell adhesion, proliferation, activity or possessing other desired features (Fig. 1)
