  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR STIMULATION OF CELLS FOR TISSUE REPAIR
    Publication number: 20250002858
    Abstract: A cell therapy structure and method, including a matrix of fibers of a proteinaceous material and an electrically conductive material. The aligned fibers are spun from a combination the electrically conductive material, such as carbon nanotubes, and a fibroin material or a collagen material. A method of tissue engineering includes seeding a cell culture on a matrix of electrically conductive protein fibers, applying an electric current to the matrix to stimulate the cell culture, and applying the simulated cell culture to a tissue.
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 20, 2024
    Publication date: January 2, 2025
    Applicant: ILLINOIS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
    Inventors: Rong WANG, Naiwei CHI
