Abstract
The combined effect of mussel-inspired polydopamine (PDA) surface functionalization and topographical cues on the behavior of skeletal myoblasts is described. On PDA-modified nanofibers, myogenic protein expression and the fusion of myoblasts are increased significantly compared with those on unmodified nanofibers. The multinucleate myotubes on the aligned nanofibers are oriented in a direction parallel to the nanofibers.
