Magnetic fiber composites combining superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs)
and electrospun fibers have shown promise in tissue engineering fields. Controlled grafting …

Growth factor (GF) delivery is a common strategy for spinal cord injury repair, however, GF
degradation can impede long‐term therapies. GF sequestration via heparin is known to …

Electrospun poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) fiber scaffolds are used to direct axonal extension in
neural engineering models. We aimed to improve the efficacy of these fibers in promoting …

The hydrophobicity of electrospun poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) fibers hinders their integration
with surrounding tissue for a variety of applications. In this study, we increased PLLA fiber …

Objective. Nerve guidance scaffolds containing anisotropic architectures provide
topographical cues to direct regenerating axons through an injury site to reconnect the …

Spinal cord injury is a complex environment, with many conflicting growth factors present at
different times throughout the injury timeline. Delivery of multiple growth factors has received …

Nervous system damage caused by physical trauma or degenerative diseases can result in
loss of sensory and motor function for patients. Biomaterial interventions have shown …

Over 17,000 people per year in the United States sustain a spinal cord injury (SCI) for which
there is no gold standard of care and life-long complications. SCI is a complex wound …
