Neural Stem Cells

The topology of our scaffold matrix supports the growth of complex cell types such as neural stem cells which are commonly cultured in 2D on tissue culture plastic.

The topology of our electrospun fibre scaffold supports the differentiation of neural stem cells into mature neurons. Cells are stained with DCX (red) Tubulin βIII (green) DAPI (blue).

Neurite outgrowth on our electrospun scaffolds. Cells stained with DAPI (blue), Nestin (green) and GFAP (red).
