Abstract
Cellular engraftment onto an engineered scaffold is of significant importance for successful implantation. Herein, we propose the use of three-dimensional (3D) silica nonwoven fabrics (SNFs, Cellbed®) synthesized using the electrospinning method, which creates an excellent environment for greater cultured cell growth and subsequent tissue formation due to preserving the extracellular matrix (ECM)-mimetic inherent structure of the scaffold. Regarding the fibroblast culture on the scaffold, cellular function, in terms of collagen type I synthesis, was more enhanced than that of the conventional plane culture due to the efficient permeability and satisfactory physiological morphologies of 3D SNFs.
