New tissue engineering findings from Fudan University published

Published in Blood Weekly, September 24th, 2009

"Cell affinity is one of the important issues required for developing tissue engineering materials. Although the poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBHHx) has been attractive for its controllable mechanical properties recent years, its cell affinity is still necessary to be improved for the requirements," scientists writing in the Journal of Materials Science - Materials in Medicine report.

"For this purpose, the regenerated silk fibroin (SF) was coated on the PHBHHx films and its porous scaffolds. The mechanical test showed that SF-modified PHBHHx (SF/PHBHHx) film has a maximum tensile strength of 11.5 +/- A 0.5 MPa and elongation at break of 175...
