In this study, we promote neuronal differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) through scaffold-mediated sustained release of siRNA targeting RE-1 silencing transcription factor (REST). Poly (ϵ-caprolactone) nanofibers were surface modified with mussel inspired DOPA-melanin (DM) coating f...
