Article Synopsis
- Researchers created porous scaffolds from jellyfish collagen aiming to enhance cartilage regeneration, analyzing factors like collagen concentration, salinity, and temperature for optimal fibril formation.* -
- The scaffolds exhibited 98.2% open porosity, demonstrated stability during cyclic compression, and showed elastic characteristics, confirmed through microscopy techniques.* -
- Cytotoxicity tests indicated the material is safe for human mesenchymal stem cells, which displayed increased chondrogenic markers and extracellular matrix components when stimulated.*
