| Description | The present work deals with the preparation of (bio) polymer nanofibers by Nanospider technology. The obtained nanofibers are biocompatible, bioadhesive, porous and mimic the structure of the extracellular matrix forming the structure of tissues. Gelatin nanofibers modified by addition of sodium or calcium salt of oxidized cellulose were successfully prepared. Gelatin is a biocompatible and biodegradable polymer. Oxidized cellulose and its salts are biocompatible, biodegradable and they also exhibit hemostatic and bactericidal efficiency. Crosslinking process was an another important step to improve hydrolytic stability and mechanical properties of nanofibers. H441 cell lines (human papillary adenocarcinoma cells) were seeded on prepared electrospun nanofibers. The viability of H441 cell lines on nanofibers was evaluated. Newly prepared material may have a potential application in surgery and regenerative medicine of soft tissues (e. g. decubitus and burns). |
