Scaffold for skin tissue engineering and a method of synthesizing thereof

摘要

The embodiments herein disclose a method of fabricating composite scaffolds for skin tissue regeneration. The methacrylated hyaluronic acid (HAMA) and methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) are synthesized. The poly (glycerol sebacate)-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PGS-PCL) microfibrous scaffolds are synthesized. The hydrogel is synthesized. The composite scaffold comprising hydrogel and poly (glycerol sebacate)-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PGS-PCL) microfibrous scaffolds is fabricated. A plurality of physico-chemical characteristics of the composite scaffold comprising hydrogel and poly (glycerol sebacate)-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PGS-PCL) microfibrous scaffolds are analysed. The physico-chemical characteristics comprises mechanical properties, swelling ratio and enzymatic degradation and scanning electron microscope imaging. The fibroblast cells are encapsulated within the composite scaffold comprising hydrogel and poly (glycerol sebacate)-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PGS-PCL) microfibrous scaffolds and hydrogels. The fibroblast cells are seeded on composite scaffold and PGS-PCL scaffold. The fibroblast cell viability, fibroblast cell attachment, fibroblast cell spreading, fibroblast cell proliferation and fibroblast cell metabolism are analysed in composite scaffolds, PGS-PCL scaffolds and hydrogels.
