Abstract
. In addition, qualitative and quantitative 3T3 fibroblast cell culturing experiments proved that the PLA/HN/SNAP scaffolds supported better cell attachment and proliferation compared to PLA. The promising results obtained in this study indicate that PLA/HN/SNAP nanofibrous scaffolds have great potential for tissue engineering applications.
