Abstract
In this study, we examined the supporting effects of nano-demineralized bone matrix on the cultivation of Wharton's jelly stem cells on acellularized nerve scaffold. Demineralized bone matrix nanoparticles were prepared and characterized by several experiments. Decellularized sciatic nerve scaffolds were prepared and their efficiency was evaluated using histological stainings and biomechanical testing. Results of histological staining indicated that the integrity of the extra cellular matrix components was preserved. Also, the growth and viability of WJSCs on the scaffolds were significantly higher in DBM nanoparticle groups. We conclude that supportive properties of nano-DBM groups showed better cell viability and a suitable microenvironment for proliferation, retention, and adhesion of cells compared with other groups.
