Pluronic-immobilized nanofibrous meshes were tailored for thermally induced incorporation of dexamethasone. A diblock copolymer composed of poly(e-caprolactone)-poly (ethyleneglycol) (NH(2)) (PCL-PEG (NH(2))) was electrospun to a nanofibrous mesh, and Pluronic was subsequently surface-immobilized on the mesh in aqueous phase. Surface-wettability analysis and (1)H NMR spectroscopy confirmed surface-decoration of nanofibrous meshes with Pluronic moieties depending on the blend ratios of PCL-PEG(NH(2)). Fluorescently-labeled micelles were incorporated in the nanofibrous meshes by temperature modulation and showed attenuated release profiles of the micelles were for 1 month. The suppression degree of drug-loaded micelle releases was proportional to the blend ratio of PCL-PEG(NH(2)). Dexamethasone was formulated into micellar nanoaggregates, and the dexamethasone micelles-loaded nanofibrous meshes were used for antiproliferation studies of smooth muscle cells. Flow cytometric analysis of the arrested cells at a G(0)-G(1) phase revealed that the dexamethasone micelles-loaded nanofibrous meshes effectively controlled proliferation of the smooth muscle cells when cells were cultivated with the nanofibrous meshes. The antiproliferation effects of the nanofibrous meshes were closely correlated to the release profiles of the micelles from the nanofibrous meshes with different blend ratios. Thus, dexamethasone-incorporated nanofibrous meshes can be potentially used for treatments of restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.

Abdominal hernia repair is a common surgical procedure, involving in most cases the use of textile meshes providing a mechanical barrier to consolidate the damaged surrounding tissues and prevent the resurgence of the hernia. However, in more than half cases postoperative complications such as adhesions and infections occur at the surface of the mesh, leading to chronic pain for the patient and requiring the removal of the implant. One of the most promising strategies to reduce the risk of postoperative adhesions and infections is to add a physical barrier between the mesh and the abdominal walls.

Mechanical non-conformance of conventionally used transvaginal non-degradable meshes has led to complications like organ perforation, dyspareunia caused by mesh stiffness, and stress shielding. In this study, we have solved the dire need of mimicking the mechanical properties of vaginal wall by designing and developing a soft and elastic mesh made of polycaprolactone (PCL), citric acid modified polyethylene glycol (PEGC) and zinc oxide (ZnO) prepared through electrospinning and is tested in-vitro and in-vivo. Mesh containing 90:10:0.

The functional restoration of a damaged cardiac tissue relies on a synchronized contractile capacity of exogenous and/or endogenous cardiomyocytes, which is challenging to achieve. Here, we explored the potential of the short glycopeptide diphenylalanine glucosamine-6-sulfate (FFGlcN6S) conjugated with an aromatic moiety, namely fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc), to enhance cardiac tissue regeneration. At physiological conditions, Fmoc-FFGlcN6S assembles into nanofibrous hydrated meshes, i.

To provide an advanced therapy for wound recovery, in this study, pasteurized bovine milk-derived exosomes (mEXO) are immobilized onto a polydopamine (PDA)-coated hyaluronic acid (HA)-based electrospun nanofibrous matrix (mEXO@PMAT) via a simple dip-coating method to formulate an mEXO-immobilized mesh as a wound-healing biomaterial. Purified mEXOs (∼82 nm) contain various anti-inflammatory, cell proliferation, and collagen synthesis-related microRNAs (miRNAs), including let-7b, miR-184, and miR-181a, which elicit elevated mRNA expression of keratin5, keratin14, and collagen1 in human keratinocytes (HaCaT) and fibroblasts (HDF). The mEXOs immobilized onto the PDA-coated meshes are gradually released from the meshes over 14 days without burst-out effect.

Microelectromechanical system-based microphones demand high ingress protection levels with regard to their use in harsh environment. Here, we develop environmental protective components comprising polyimide nanofibers combined onto polyether ether ketone fabric meshes and subsequently appraise their impact on the electroacoustic properties of high signal-to-noise-ratio microelectromechanical system-based microphones via industry-standard characterizations and theoretical simulations. Being placed directly on top of the microphone sound port, the nanofiber mesh die-cut parts with an inner diameter of 1.
