MSC attachment, arrangement, viability, and gene expression after being grown on a scaffold for 7 days. (a) Image of unseeded scaffold. (b) Brightfield image of MSCs attaching to scaffold. (c) Immunocytochemistry image of MSCs grown on a silk scaffold for 7 days (blue = DAPI, green = β-actin). (d) Relative mRNA expression of Scx at 0, 4, and 12 h, and 1 day and 7 days after seeding MSCs onto the silk scaffold. Data represent three independent experiments per assay. *P < 0.05 compared with control.
