Abstract:

 [Objectives]  Regulating the nature of silk protein solution allows the control of the mechanical and structural properties of silk protein scaffolds suitable for the growth of endothelial cells, and solves the problem of engineering thick complex organs and tissues that require functional vasculature. [Methods]  To study the effect of different silk protein scaffold properties nanofiber-assisted lyophilization was used to restrain separate lamella formation in silk scaffolds. In addition, the structure of silk was controlled by adjusting silk-water interactions, thereby obtaining different silk protein solutions, and through preparing scaffolds by lyophilization. [Results]  Increasing silk-water interactions resulted in reduced silk II (β-sheet crystal) formation, which resulted in a decrease in scaffold formation. [Conclusion]  Scaffolds with a suitable stiffness and porous structure for the growth of endothelial cells were obtained by increasing the solution concentration. These also provided a promising matrix for different soft tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
