Cell-free biodegradable electroactive scaffold for urinary bladder tissue regeneration by Rebecca L. Keate, Matthew I. Bury, Maria Mendez-Santos, Andres Gerena, Madeleine Goedegebuure, Jonathan Rivnay, Arun K. Sharma, Guillermo A. Ameer

“…To create an electrically conductive and mechanically robust scaffold to support bladder tissue regeneration, we develop a functionalization method wherein the hydrophobic conductive polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is polymerized in situ within a similarly hydrophobic citrate-based elastomer poly(octamethylene-citrate-co-octanol) (POCO) film. We demonstrate the efficacy of this scaffold for bladder augmentation in primarily female athymic rats, comparing PEDOT-POCO scaffolds to mesenchymal stromal cell-seeded POCO scaffolds. …”
