Scaffold-guided MSK Tissue Engineering

We have synthesized an innovative nanofibrous, yet injectable matrix called PNCOL for musculoskeletal (MSK) tissue regeneration. The PNCOL is synthesized using nanofibrous polycaprolactone (PCL) and collagen type I.

The PNCOL can be used to encapsulate the cells, cytokine and chemokine, and growth factors and proteins for enhanced tissue regeneration and immunomodulaiton. 

The PNCOL has been playing an instrumental role in bone, tendon, enthesis, intervertebral disc (IVD) tissue regeneration studies conducted with in vitro and an ex vivo models (organ culturing).
