Scientific Abstract

The aim of this project is to generate differentiated, axially vascularized and neurotized skeletal muscle tissue from ADSC and myoblasts on PCL-collagen I-(PANi)-nanofiber scaffolds. For this, seeded nanofiber scaffolds of PCL-collagen I with and without Polyanilin (4%) will be implanted in the neurotized vascular loop model of the rat for 6 weeks. Afterwards the myogenic differentiation will be analysed with the hypothesis, that the addition of PANi (4%) improves myogenic differentiation.
