Physical, functional and biochemical features of Nanoskin® bacterial cellulose scaffold as a potential carrier for cell transference

摘要: We evaluated the feasibility of Nanoskin®, a bacterial cellulose (BC) nanofiber membrane, as a potential scaffold for cell transference therapy. Nanoskin® does not induce lymphocyte proliferation, but it does not kill lymphocytes. Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and lymphocytes produced significantly elevated amounts of interleukin (IL)-10 (p = 0.0005; p = 0.02) when in contact with Nanoskin®. In conclusion, the Nanoskin® can be a promising biomaterial for use as a cell carrier-scaffold in cell transference therapies.
