Fabrication of Chitosan Nanofibers Scaffolds with Small Amount Gelatin for Enhanced Cell Viability

Abstract:

Chitosan and gelatin has attracted considerable interest owing to its advantageous biological properties such as excellent biocompatibility, biodegradation, and non-toxic properties. In this paper, we investigated the potential of chitosan/gelatin (Chi-Gel) nanofibers mat with enhanced cell viability for use as cell culture scaffolds. The surface morphology, mechanical properties, and initial contact angle analysis of Chi-Gel nanofibers mat were evaluated. The proliferation of human dermal fibroblast cell (HDFs) on Chi-Gel nanofibers mat was found to be approximately 20% higher than the pure chitosan nanofibers mat after 7 days of culture. These results suggest that the Chi-Gel nanofibers mat has great potential for use tissue engineering applications.
