Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for preparing a nanofibrous scaffold and use of the same for promoting cell culturing. In particular, the nanofibrous scaffold comprises functionalized cellulose nanofibers which significantly increases expansion capacity and protein production. The method comprises the step of dividing the initial cellulose nanofibers by dispersing.
Claims16
A method of preparing a nanofibrous cellulose scaffold, said method comprising:
- dividing an initial cellulose nanofiber material into a processed cellulose nanofiber material,
- functionalizing the processed cellulose nanofiber material by addition of a reagent comprising a functional moiety, and
- drying the processed cellulose nanofiber material,
- wherein the dividing is achieved by dispersing,
- thereby providing the nanofibrous cellulose scaffold.
2-15. (canceled)
A nanofibrous cellulose scaffold comprising a cellulose nanofiber material with a mean length of the cellulose nanofibers of less than about 250 μm, and wherein the cellulose nanofiber material is functionalized with a functional moiety.
