We prepared 3D poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL) nanofibre scaffolds and tested their use for seeding, proliferation, differentiation and migration of mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs). 3D nanofibres were prepared using a special collector for common electrospinning; simultaneously, a 2D PCL nanofibre layer was prepared using a classic plain collector. Both scaffolds were seeded with MSCs and biologically tested. MSC adhesion, migration, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation were investigated.
We draw the conclusion that all positive effects observed using the 3D PCL nanofibre scaffold are related to the larger fibre surface area available to the cells. Thus, the proposed 3D structure of the nanofibre layer will find a wide array of applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

A nanofiber scaffold containing α-granules was prepared by coaxial electrospinning. The biological potential of the nanofiber scaffold was evaluated in chondrocyte and mesenchymal stem cell cultivation studies. Additionally, the concentration of TGF-β1 was determined. RESULTs: Microscopy studies showed that intact α-granules were incorporated into the coaxial nanofibers. The cultivation tests showed that the novel scaffold stimulated viability and extracellular matrix production of chondrocytes and mesenchymal stem cells. In addition, the concentration of growth factors necessary for the induction of cell proliferation significantly decreased.
