Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanically robust, electrically conductive and stimuli-responsive binary network hydrogels enabled by superelastic graphene aerogels.
TL;DR: The architecture of the nanofiller phase in polymer nanocomposites matters!
Journal ArticleDOI
Facile One‐Step Micropatterning Using Photodegradable Gelatin Hydrogels for Improved Cardiomyocyte Organization and Alignment
Kelly M. Tsang,Nasim Annabi,Francesca Ercole,Kun Zhou,Daniel J. Karst,Fanyi Li,John M. Haynes,Richard A. Evans,Helmut Thissen,Ali Khademhosseini,John S. Forsythe +10 more
TL;DR: Protein‐based PD hydrogels composed of methacrylated gelatin and a crosslinker containing o‐nitrobenzyl ester groups are developed and are shown to improve cell distribution, alignment, and beating regularity of cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Graphene Functionalized Scaffolds Reduce the Inflammatory Response and Supports Endogenous Neuroblast Migration when Implanted in the Adult Brain
Kun Zhou,Sepideh Motamed,George Anthony Thouas,Claude C.A. Bernard,Dan Li,Helena C. Parkington,Harold A. Coleman,David Finkelstein,John S. Forsythe +8 more
TL;DR: In this in vivo work, electrospun microfiber scaffolds coated with self-assembled colloidal graphene, were implanted into the striatum or into the subventricular zone of adult rats and prevented glial scarring in the brain 7 weeks following implantation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Method to impart electro- and biofunctionality to neural scaffolds using graphene-polyelectrolyte multilayers.
Kun Zhou,George Anthony Thouas,Claude C.A. Bernard,David R. Nisbet,David Finkelstein,Dan Li,John S. Forsythe +6 more
TL;DR: Cell culture experiments showed that both 2D and 3D graphene-PEMs supported neuron cell adhesion and neurite outgrowth, with no appreciable cell death, and this electroactive scaffold modification may assist in neuronal regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI
A self-assembling β-peptide hydrogel for neural tissue engineering
Sepideh Motamed,M.P. Del Borgo,Ketav Kulkarni,Nathan Habila,Kun Zhou,Patrick Perlmutter,John S. Forsythe,Marie-Isabel Aguilar +7 more
TL;DR: A new class of β-peptide based hydrogel for neural tissue engineering that shows excellent compatibility with neural cells and provides a suitable environment for cells to adhere and proliferate is reported.
