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 crosslinked cellulose nanofibers which yield a continuous microcarrier material for use in industrial scale cell culturing setups.
Claims23
A method of preparing a nanofibrous cellulose scaffold, said method comprising:
- dividing an initial cellulose nanofiber material into a processed cellulose nanofiber material,
- crosslinking the processed cellulose nanofiber material, and
- drying the processed cellulose nanofiber material,
- wherein said dividing is achieved by dispersing,
- thereby providing the nanofibrous cellulose scaffold.
2-22. (canceled)
A nanofibrous cellulose scaffold comprising a processed cellulose nanofiber material with a mean length of the cellulose nanofibers of less than about 250 μm, and wherein the processed cellulose nanofiber material comprises crosslinks induced by a crosslinking agent.
