We report on the fabrication of fibers exclusively from the extracellular matrix components by interfacial complexation without using any crosslinking agent. The obtained fibers may have different biomedical applications as they are flexible, and cells adhere and remodel them. Moreover, their stability and thickness can be finely tuned by the sulfation degree of the used glycosaminoglycans.
我们报道了通过界面络合仅由细胞外基质成分制备纤维的方法,且未使用任何交联剂。所获得的纤维具有柔韧性,细胞能够附着并对其进行重塑,因此可能具有不同的生物医学应用。此外,它们的稳定性和厚度可以通过所用糖胺聚糖的硫酸化程度进行精细调节。
