Stem cells still remain one of the most exciting and lucrative options for treatment of variety of nervous system disorders and diseases. Although there are neural stem cells present in adults, the ability of both the peripheral and central nervous system for self-repair is limited at best. As such, there is a great need for a tissue engineering approach to solve nervous system disorders and diseases. In this study, we have developed electrically conductive surfaces with controlled arrays of high aspect ratio nanowires for the growth and maintenance of neural stem cells. The nanowire surfaces were fabricated from polycaprolactone using a novelnanotemplating technique, and were coated with an electrically conductive polymer, polypyrrole. The polypyrrole coated nanowire surfaces were characterized using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Additionally, the surface resistance of polypyrrole coated nanowire surfaces was measured. C17.2 neural stem cells were used to evaluate the efficacy of the polypyrrole coated nanowire surfaces to promote cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. The results presented here indicate significantly higher cellular adhesion and proliferation on polypyrrole coated nanowire surfaces as compared to control surfaces. The differentiation potential of polypyrrole nanowire surfaces was also evaluated by immunostaining key neuronal markers that are expressed when NSCs differentiate into their respective neural lineages.
