Wound healing effects of dexpanthenol-loaded core/shell electrospun nanofibers: Implication of oxidative stress in wound healing.

Objectives: Knowing the detrimental role of oxidative stress in wound healing and the anti-oxidant properties of Dexpanthenol (Dex), we aimed to produce Dex-loaded electrospun core/shell nanofibers for wound healing study. The novelty was measuring oxidative stress in wounds to know how oxidative stress was affected by Dex-loaded fibers.

Materials And Methods: TPVA solution containing Dex 6% (w/v) (core) and PVA/chitosan solution (shell) were coaxially electrospun with variable injection rates of the shell solution.

Electrospun core-sheath poly(vinyl alcohol)/silk fibroin nanofibers with Rosuvastatin release functionality for enhancing osteogenesis of human adipose-derived stem cells.

The aim of this study is to evaluate a core-shell nanofiber as a useful matrix for tuning Rosuvastatin (RSV) release and osteogenic differentiation in vitro. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and silk fibroin were used as the shell and the core, respectively. To obtain a linear and beadless core-shell structure and an optimal release profile, the shell/core flow rate ratio was varied (0, 0.

Osteogenic potential of Rosuvastatin immobilized on silk fibroin nanofibers using argon plasma treatment.

To begin developing a silk fibroin (SF) nanofibrous scaffolds that could promote osteogenesis, whilst enabling to deliver an active amount of Rosuvastatin (RSV) to the cells in long-time period, the present study aims to immobilize RSV onto the SF nanofibers through the argon radio frequency. Thus, the effect of plasma exposure times (0, 1, 3, and 5 min) was investigated on the morphology, loading efficiency, release profile, and osteogenesis activity. The successful loading of RSV on the SF nanofibers was proved by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy, Differential scanning calorimetry, and energy dispersive spectroscopy.
