Structure and properties of slow-resorbing nanofibers obtained by (co-axial) electrospinning as tissue scaffolds in regenerative medicine by Andrzej Hudecki, Joanna Gola, Saeid Ghavami, Magdalena Skonieczna, Jarosław Markowski, Wirginia Likus, Magdalena Lewandowska, Wojciech Maziarz, Marek J. Los

“…Nanofibers obtained such way may then be used in regenerative medicine, for the preparation of extracellular scaffolds: (i) for controlled bone regeneration due to the long decay time of the PCL, (ii) as bioscaffolds for generation of other types of artificial tissues, (iii) and as carriers of nanocapsules for local drug delivery. Furthermore, the used solvents are significantly less toxic than the solvents for polycaprolactone currently commonly used in electrospin, like for example chloroform (CHCl3), methanol (CH3OH), dimethylformamide (C3H7NO) or tetrahydrofuran (C4H8O), hence the presented here electrospin technique may allow for the production of multilayer nanofibres more suitable for the use in medical field.…”

Organic/inorganic hybrid nanoparticulate resonant contrast agents by Kramberger, I

“…</p> <p>Moreover, symmetric ¹⁹F MRI CAs were accommodated within micron- and nanosized matrices comprised of polyelectrolytes, quaternary ammonium first generation dendrimers and centrifugable oil-containing silica nanocapsules. For these, the biggest challenge has been posed by restricted local mobility, which notably shortens transverse relaxation time and attenuates the ¹⁹F NMR signal. …”
