| Abstract | For building functional vasculature, controlled delivery of fibroblast growth factor-9 (FGF9) from electrospun fibers is an appealing strategy to overcome challenges associated with its short half-life. FGF9 sustained delivery could potentially drive muscularization of angiogenic sprouts and help regenerate stable functional neovasculature in ischemic vascular disease patients.Electrospinning parameters of FGF9-loaded poly(ester amide) (PEA) fibers have been optimized, using blend and emulsion electrospinning techniques. In vitro PEA matrix degradation, biocompatibility, FGF9 release kinetics, and bioactivity of the released FGF9 were evaluated. qPCR was employed to evaluate platelet-derived growth factor receptor-β (PDGFRβ) gene expression in NIH-3T3 fibroblasts, 10T1/2 cells, and human coronary artery smooth muscle cells cultured on PEA fibers at different FGF9 concentrations.Loaded PEA fibers exhibited controlled release of FGF9 over 28 days with limited burst effect while preserving FGF9 bioactivity. FGF9-loaded and unloaded electrospun fibers were found to support the proliferation of fibroblasts for five days even in serum-depleted conditions. Cells cultured on FGF9-supplemented PEA mats resulted in upregulation of PDGFRβ in concentration and cell type-dependent manner.This study supports the premise of controlled delivery of FGF9 from PEA electrospun fibers for potential therapeutic angiogenesis applications. |

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.
