Fibroin and fibroin blended three-dimensional scaffolds for rat chondrocyte culture [PDF]

BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2013
Abstract Background In our previous study, we successfully developed 3-D scaffolds prepared from silk fibroin (SF), silk fibroin/collagen (SF/C) and silk fibroin/gelatin (SF/G) using a freeze drying technique. The blended construct showed superior mechanical properties to silk fibroin construct.
