Cellulose Nanowhisker Surfaces Promote Skeletal Muscle Myogenesis: A Novel Biomaterial System for Tissue Engineering

摘要

Cellulose nanowhiskers are biocompatible and bioactive. Their unique combination of chemical and physical properties along with their facile preparation method and renewable raw material make them a highly valuable biomaterial for tissue engineering. By utilizing nanoscale materials we aim to engineer tissue-like material and promote the biosynthesis and modelling of extracellular matrix using the minimum quantity of exogenous biomaterial.
