Popis: In this paper, a biomolding technique was first used to fabricate a scaffold of hierarchical topography with biomimetic morphology for tissue engineering. First, poly(ortho-methoxyaniline) (POMA) was synthesized by conventional oxidative polymerization, followed by characterizations with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). Moreover, the POMA scaffold with 3D biomimetic morphology was fabricated using poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) as negative soft template from natural leaf surfaces of Xanthosoma sagittifolium, followed by transferring the pattern of PDMS template to POMA. The as-fabricated POMA scaffold with biomimetic morphology was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Subsequently, cell–scaffold interactions were carried out by culturing rat neural stem cells (rNSCs) on biomimetic and nonbiomimetic, or flat, POMA scaffolds, as well as on poly(d-lysine) (PDL)-coated substrate, and evaluating the corresponding adhesion, cell viability, and...
