  1. Fabrication of an electrospunnanofibrous scaffold for use in the field of tissue engineering By: Shannon Daily & Tyler Crawford

  2. Purpose • To create a polycaprolactone mesh which enables cell activity and seeks to eventually provide an application in the field of tissue engineering toward biomimetic skin graft.

  3. Progress since last meeting • Spun 4 more meshes • Chitosan included • Progress on cell work • Established cell line • Grew cells in tissue culture plates • Final Paper started • Materials and Method section

  4. Chitosan Solution • 1 wt.% Chitosan – Spun 3 meshes successfully • 2 wt.% Chitosan – Spun 1 mesh successfully • Plan to also spin 0.5 wt.% chitosan

  5. Mesh Chart *SEM images Cell work

  6. Mesh Chart continued

  7. Cell Work • Worked with Gabi and Allison to establish cell line • Seeded mesh #4 with cells in tissue culture plate • Seeded mesh #6 with cells • Left over 2 weeks – fibroblast cells observed growing in plate

  8. Cell Work - Problems • Contamination (Fungus and Bacteria) • Observed in Mesh #4 – 1st trial with cells with mesh • Possible solutions • increase sterilization time under UV light • Two trials of mesh in media with and without cells • Cells grew around the mesh in #6

  9. Additional Problems • SEM issues • Unable to use the one at Janelia Farm • No contact from other university • Mesh too thick to see through on microscope • Possibly make thinner meshes to be able to see cells

  10. To be worked on: • SEM images for meshes created • Cell work • Continue using different meshes (possibly try well plates) • Continuespinning PCL/chitosan solutions • Continue work for final symposium
