Article Synopsis
- The study explored how human bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) interact with an RGD-modified silk matrix, showing improved adhesion, spreading, and proliferation compared to non-RGD-modified matrices.
- Results from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and MTT analyses indicated that RGD-modified matrices supported a higher attachment and cell density of BMSCs and anterior cruciate ligament fibroblasts (ACLFs) over a 14-day culture period.
- The RGD-modified silk matrices resulted in significantly greater collagen type I levels at both day 7 and day 14, highlighting their potential application in tissue engineering due to their supportive properties for cell attachment and biocompatibility.
