Fabrication and Biocompatibility of Core-Shell Structured Magnetic Fibrous Scaffold
Abstract:
In recent years, various magnetic bio-materials with physical and morphological cues have been used in biomedical area due to their advantageous characteristics. As one class of them, magnetic fibrous scaffolds have attracted many researchers' interests because they have an important positive impact on cellular growth behavior. They provide various physical cues to regulate the regeneration and repair of damaged tissue, and promote new tissue formation. In this study, we developed core-shell structured magnetic fibers (3D CS-MFs) using cooperative assembly method the combination with electrospinning technology. The obtained magnetic 3D CS-MFs displayed excellent magnetic performance, biocompatibility, and provided a desirable microenvironment for model cells (bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, BMSCs) growth. More importantly, BMSCs exhibited excellent viability and 3D growth. The novel preparation method will greatly enhance the potential application of magnetic fibrous scaffold in the biomedical area, such as drug release, and tissue engineering.

Suture
All the bones of the skull, except for the mandible, are joined to each other by a fibrous joint called a suture. The fibrous connective tissue found at a suture strongly unites the adjacent skull bones and thus helps to protect the brain and form the face. In...
Globular and Fibrous Proteins
Globular proteins are also known as spheroproteins and typically are approximately round in shape. They contain a mix of amino acid types and contain differing sequences in their primary structures. Globular proteins have many different functions, such as enzymes, cellular messengers, and molecular transporters. These roles often require the proteins to be...

The paradox
Nucleosomes, paradoxically, perform two opposite functions simultaneously. On the one hand, their main responsibility is to protect the delicate DNA strands from physical damage and help achieve a higher compaction ratio. While on the other hand, they must allow polymerase enzymes to access DNA...
