| Abstract | Apart from chemical molecules, physical regulations also greatly determine the efficiency of healing in regenerating functional tissues. In this study, we fabricated superparamagnetic nano-composite scaffolds for tissue engineering and investigated their effects on different bone cells without an external magnetic field. Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and hydrophobic superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) were combined together with different mass ratios in order to construct composite scaffolds using an electrospinning method for the first time. The diameters of the fibers were 400–600 nm with the MNPs uniformly dispersed in them, as shown by transmission (TEM) and scanning (SEM) electron microscopy observations. All composite scaffolds retained superparamagnetism at room temperature, but the saturation magnetization did not increase linearly as the magnetite content increased. The composite scaffolds with different MNP content showed excellent biocompatibility and significantly promoted cell proliferation compared with PLGA nanofibrous scaffold without an external magnetic field. Cell cycle analysis proved that the composite scaffolds decreased cell numbers in G0/G1 phase while increasing those in S phase, which resulted in positive effects on cell proliferation. However, the composite scaffolds had no effect on the differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells because of the different impact mechanism between proliferation and differentiation. Therefore, the composite scaffolds composed of superparamagnetic MNPs could be considered as an ideal substrate for accelerating osteoblast cell proliferation and tissue repair. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
