| Research Abstract |
Calcium-alginate hollow microfibers with various outer (100-800μm) and inner diameters (inner diameter/outer diameter=0.06-0.80) were successfully fabricated using a spinning system consisted of a triple extrusion head. Stretching the microfibers resulted in decrease in outer diameter of them (less than 100μm). Immobilization of gelatin into the microfibers enhanced adhesion and proliferation of enclosed mammalian cells, such as neuronal cell and glial cell lines.
