Concentrated polymer brush-modified cellulose nanofibers promote chondrogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells by controlling self-assembly

Abstract

In order to develop new three-dimensional (3D) cell culture systems for articular cartilage regeneration, concentrated poly(styrene sulfonate sodium salt) brush-modified cellulose nanofibers were employed as building blocks for the self-assembly of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Unique 3D cellular structures, such as giant spheres and sheets, were formed by controlling hMSC self-assembly.
