Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials science
  • Regenerative medicine
  • Urology

Background:

  • Amniotic membrane (Am) has regenerative properties beneficial for reconstructive urology.
  • Poor mechanical strength limits Am's application in ureter and urethral reconstruction.
  • Nanofiber reinforcement offers a strategy to enhance Am's mechanical resistance while preserving bioactivity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a biocomposite material of Am and nanofibers for urinary bladder augmentation.
  • To assess the graft's efficacy in a rat model for reconstructive urology.

Main Methods:

  • A sandwich-structured biocomposite was created using frozen Am and electrospun poly-(L-lactide-co-E-caprolactone) (PLCL) membranes.
  • Wistar rats underwent hemicystectomy and subsequent bladder augmentation with the biocomposite graft.

Main Results:

  • Histological analysis confirmed successful regeneration of urothelial and smooth muscle layers.
  • Presence of contractile smooth muscle and restored bladder mechanical properties (tension, contraction, elasticity, compliance) were observed.
  • The biocomposite structure facilitated Am delivery and regeneration without hindering the process.

Conclusions:

  • Reinforcing amniotic membrane with electrospun nanofibers improves mechanical resistance.
  • This strategy enhances the potential of Am for reconstructive urology applications.
  • The biocomposite material effectively supports urinary bladder regeneration in vivo.
