In a previous collaborative work, we showed that engineered bioactivated silk nanofibers support and enhance neurons survival and regrowth.
​
Engineering bioactivated silk nanofibers is challenging. We develop 3D printing methods to produce different layouts and arrays of fibers to study neuroprotection and neuroregeneration in vitro and in vivo.
