Optimization of Polycaprolactone – Based Nanofiber Matrices for the Cultivation of Corneal Endothelial Cells

Four groups of electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds were compared: polycaprolactone (PCL), PCL/collagen, PCL/gelatin and PCL/chitosan. Each of the scaffolds were tissue-engineered with human corneal endothelial cells and analyzed with regard to their potential application as artificial posterior lamellar grafts.
