Abstract
Dural reconstruction, essential for protecting the central nervous system, remains challenging in cranial neurosurgery. This study discovers that the alignment of poly(p-dioxanone) (PPDO) electrospun fibers influences cellular behavior, thereby promoting dura mater regeneration without inducing excessive fibrosis. Electrospinning parameters were precisely optimized to fabricate PPDO fiber membranes exhibiting either isotropic or highly aligned morphologies. Quantitative analysis confirmed a clear relationship between electrospinning conditions and fiber alignment. The membranes displayed stable degradation characteristics suitable for biomedical applications. Notably, highly aligned PPDO membranes promoted spindle-shaped cellular morphology and enhanced secretion of three growth factors- alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1), facilitating favorable cellular responses for regeneration. These results display the significance of fiber orientation in designing advanced biomaterials for dura mater repair.
期刊介绍:
Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects is an international journal devoted to the science underlying applications of colloids and interfacial phenomena.
The journal aims at publishing high quality research papers featuring new materials or new insights into the role of colloid and interface science in (for example) food, energy, minerals processing, pharmaceuticals or the environment.
