Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) have demonstrated their potentials as medical implant biomaterials. Neural stem cells (NSCs) grown on/in PHA scaffolds may be useful for repairing central nervous system (CNS) injury. To investigate this possibility, nanofiber matrices (scaffolds) prepared from several PHA via a novel phase separation process were studied to mimic natural extracellular matrix (ECM), and rat-derived NSCs grown in the PHA matrices were characterized regarding their in vitro differentiation behaviors. All three PHA materials including poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), copolymer of 3-hydroxybutyrate and 4-hydroxybutyrate (P3HB4HB), and copolymer of 3-hydroxy...
