Effect of l-Arginine treatment on the in vitro stability of electrospun aligned chitosan nanofiber mats

Chitosan (Cs) mats obtained by electrospinning are potentially ideal scaffolds for tissue engineering. This technique allows obtaining nanometric fibrous structures with preferred orientation, which in turn enable cells to align themselves and produce extracellular matrix along desired orientations. In this study, we fabricated aligned Cs electrospun nanofiber mats and investigated the role of the amino acid l-Arginine (L-Arg) as stabilizing...
