Abstract

Statement of Purpose: Muscle regeneration requires electromechanical stimuli as well as biochemical growth factors[1] to guide differentiation into functional muscle. Smart growth factor release is a big challenge in tissue engineering since different growth factors should be released at different times to be effective[2]. In this research, we designed a scaffold with the ability to not only direct satellite cells to grow aligned on the fibers but to also release growth factors under applied electrical stimulation to benefit both cell differentiation and the drug release. We used the streptavidin as a drug carrier in a synthetic PEGylated Polyvinylidene Fluoride-Polypyrrole Core-Shell electrospun mesh. We have also evaluated the impact of the saturation of streptavidin with the drug which changes the bioavailability of the model drug (insulin like growth factor) allowing tuning of the control release system and drug effectiveness.
