Nanopore structure of PLA@SF aligned composite electrospun fiber membrane enhances growth behavior of peripheral nerve cells by Tao Feng, Yanfang Liu, Yehua Lv, Yang Shao, Lifeng Niu, Daguo Mi

“…The impact of the porous characteristics of the fiber surface on cellular growth behavior has attracted considerable attention from researchers. However, there are few studies that have explored the synergistic influence of fiber surface nanotopology and silk fibroin (SF) on peripheral nerve cell growth patterns.MethodsThis study presents a polylactic acid (PLA)/silk fibroin (SF) composite fiber membrane featuring a nanopore structure on its surface. …”
