Biocompatibility of plasma-treated poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) nanofiber mats modified by silk fibroin for bone tissue regeneration.
TLDR
Cell proliferation assay revealed that SF modification together with N2 plasma (PS/N2) promoted higher osteoblastic (SaOs-2) cell viability, Consequently, the PS/N1 nanofiber mats would be a potential candidate for bone tissue engineering applications.About:
