Electrospun Polymeric Scaffold Enables 3D Tissue-like Functionality and Efficient Photoinduced Contraction

Key Points

• To develop a biocompatible scaffold for creating functional muscle tissues that can contract effectively.
• Utilized electrospinning to create polymeric scaffolds
• Assessed the biocompatibility of the scaffold
• Measured contraction responses under light exposure
• Scaffold demonstrated significant muscle-like contraction
• High levels of biocompatibility were confirmed
• Enhanced 3D tissue-like functionality observed in engineered constructs
