Keratinocytes Growth Using Polyvinylidenefluoride (PVDF) Fiber Mats by Electrospun

Abstract

Abstract-There is a growing demand for skin transplants; however, immunological incompatibility to such transplants remains as an unsolved issue. It is necessary to improve the current production methods for epidermal originated tissue. PVDF-based membranes have the potential to be used as an appropriate scaffold for skin cell growth. There are a wide range of medical applications and potential medical applications of PVDF. Keratinocytes on PVDF scaffolds had the greatest alkaline phosphatase activity and early mineralization. The results demonstrate the potential for the use of PVDF scaffolds for keratinocytes growth applications.)
