Abstract

Statement of Purpose: We are developing combinatorial methods for screening cell-material interactions. Although previous approaches for rapid screening have used material libraries in the form of two-dimensional surfaces or films (2D), biomaterials are commonly used in a three-dimensional scaffold format (3D) and cells behave more physiologically when cultured in a 3D environment. Electrospun nanofibers have shown promise as tissue scaffolds [1] because they mimic the nanotopology of native extracellular matrix (ECM) [2]. Therefore, we are developing a combinatorial platform for screening the effect of nanofiber scaffold composition on cell response.
