The Fiber Diameter of Synthetic Bioresorbable Extracellular Matrix Influences Human Fibroblast Morphology and Fibronectin Matrix Assembly

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The ideal scaffold material should provide immediate capacity to bear mechanical loads and also permit eventual resorption and replacement with native tissue of similar mechanical integrity. Scaffold characteristics such as fiber diameter provide environmental cues that can influence cell function and differentiation. In this study, the impact of fiber diameter of scaffolds constructed from a...
