Blow-Spun Collagen Nanofibrous Spongy Membrane: Preparation and Characterization
TL;DR: In this article , a blow-spun collagen nanofibrous spongy membrane could better maintain the fiber structure after chemical crosslinking, which showed good biocompatibility for cell spreading and migration inward.

TL;DR: The physical integrity of the nanofiber-reinforced hydrogels was found to be significantly improved in comparison to a hydrogel system without nanofibers, and antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was confirmed.

Production of a tissue-like structure by contraction of collagen lattices by human fibroblasts of different proliferative potential in vitro.
TL;DR: Fibroblasts of high population doubling level propagated in vitro, which have left the cell cycle, can carry out the contraction at least as efficiently as cycling cells.
Production of a tissue-like structure by contraction of collagen lattices by human fibroblasts of different proliferative
TL;DR: Fibroblasts of high population doubling level propagated in vitro, which have left the cell cycle, can carry out the contraction at least as efficiently as cycling cells as discussed by the authors, and the potential uses of the system as an immu- nologically tolerated "tissue" for wound hea ing and as a model for studying fibroblast function are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
ImageJ for microscopy
TL;DR: The near-comprehensive range of import filters that allow easy access to image and meta-data, a broad suite processing and analysis routine, and enthusiastic support from a friendly mailing list are invaluable for all microscopy labs and facilities-not just those on a budget.

Electrospun Poly(ε-caprolactone) Microfiber and Multilayer Nanofiber/Microfiber Scaffolds: Characterization of Scaffolds and Measurement of Cellular Infiltration
TL;DR: The scaffold design presented in this study allows for cellular infiltration into the scaffolds while at the same time providing nanofibers as a physical mimicry of extracellular matrix.

Formation of fibers by electrospinning.
TL;DR: Electrostatic fiber formation, also known as "electrospinning", has emerged in recent years as the popular choice for producing continuous threads, fiber arrays and nonwoven fabrics with fiber diameters below 1 microm for a wide range of materials.
