Abstract

The fabrication of a novel three-dimensional (3D) neural tissue engineered scaffold composed of a methylcellulose (MC)-laminin (LN) conjugate was investigated. Oxidized MC was treated with 3-(2-pyridyldithio)propionyl hydrazide (PDPH) crosslinker. Rheological parameters were measured on a Bohlin CVO rheometer with a parallel plate configuration. IR-IR spectroscopy verified the formation of dialdehyde groups upon oxidation. The results confirm the conjugation of LN to MC by the heterobifunctional crosslinker PDPH.
