Silk fibroin micro-particle scaffolds with superior compression modulus and slow bioresorption for effective bone regeneration

Silk fibroin micro-particle scaffolds with superior compression modulus and slow bioresorption for effective bone regeneration

Abstract Silk fibroin (SF), a natural polymer produced by Bombyx mori silkworms, has been extensively explored to prepare porous scaffolds for tissue engineering applications. Here, we demonstrate, a scaffold made of SF, which exhibits compression modulus comparable to natural cancellous bone while...
