Sericin/Human Placenta-Derived Extracellular Matrix Scaffolds for Cutaneous Wound Treatment-Preparation, Characterization, and Analyses.

Human placenta is loaded with an enormous amount of endogenous growth factors, thereby making it a superior biomaterial for tissue regeneration. Sericin is a naturally occurring silk protein that is extensively used for biomedical applications. In the present work, sericin and human placenta-derived extracellular matrix were blended and fabricated in the form of scaffolds using the freeze-drying method for cutaneous wound treatment.
