Abstract:
Recent researches about the application of silk fibroin in cell culture suggested that silk fibroin displayed high rate of cell attachment and growth in vitro culture of most kinds of cells, equivalent to collagen. So silk fibroin can be used for cell scaffold material of tissue engineering, and can be applied to several fields such as tissue engineering of skin, cartilage and blood vessel. The related researches and the prospect of the application of silk fibroin in cell scaffold of tissue engineering are reviewed in this paper.
