--- res: bibo_abstract: - ' Nanofiber mats can be produced by electrospinning from diverse polymers and polymer blends as well as with embedded ceramics, metals, etc. The large surface-to-volume ratio makes such nanofiber mats a well-suited substrate for tissue engineering and other cell growth experiments. Cell growth, however, is not only influenced by the substrate morphology, but also by the sterilization process applied before the experiment as well as by the chemical composition of the fibers. A former study showed that cell growth and adhesion are supported by polyacrylonitrile/gelatin nanofiber mats, while both factors are strongly reduced on pure polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers. Here we report on the influence of different PAN blends on cell growth and adhesion. Our study shows that adding ZnO to the PAN spinning solution impedes cell growth, while addition of maltodextrin/pea protein or casein/gelatin supports cell growth and adhesion.@eng' bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Daria foaf_name: Wehlage, Daria foaf_surname: Wehlage - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Hannah foaf_name: Blattner, Hannah foaf_surname: Blattner - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Al foaf_name: Mamun, Al foaf_surname: Mamun - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Ines foaf_name: Kutzli, Ines foaf_surname: Kutzli - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Elise foaf_name: Diestelhorst, Elise foaf_surname: Diestelhorst - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Anke foaf_name: Rattenholl, Anke foaf_surname: Rattenholl - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Frank foaf_name: Gudermann, Frank foaf_surname: Gudermann - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Dirk foaf_name: Lütkemeyer, Dirk foaf_surname: Lütkemeyer - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Andrea foaf_name: Ehrmann, Andrea foaf_surname: Ehrmann bibo_doi: 10.3934/bioeng.2020004 bibo_issue: '1' bibo_volume: 7 dct_date: 2020^xs_gYear dct_isPartOf: - http://id.crossref.org/issn/2375-1495 dct_language: eng dct_subject: - electrospinning - nanofiber mat - autoclaving - cell growth - adherent cells - CHO cells - DMSO dct_title: Cell growth on electrospun nanofiber mats from polyacrylonitrile (PAN) blends@ ...
