Numerous challenges remain in the successful clinical translation of cell-based therapeutic studies for skeletal tissue repair, including appropriate cell sources and viable cell delivery systems. Poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PEG-PCL) amphiphilic block copolymers have been extensively explored in microspheres preparation. Due to the introduction of hydrophilic PEG segments into PCL backbones, these copolymers have shown much more potentials in carrying protein, lipophilic drugs or genes than commonly used poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and poly (lactic acid). The aim of this study is to investigate the attachment and osteogenic differentiation of human placenta derived mesenchymal stem cells (PMSCs) on PEG-PCL triblock copolymers nanofiber scaffolds. Here we demonstrated that PMSCs proliferate robustly and can be effectively differentiated into osteogenic-like cells on nanofiber scaffolds. This study provides evidence for the use of nanofiber scaffolds as an ideal supporting material for in vitro PMSCs culture and an in vivo cell delivery vehicle for bone repair.
