Electrospun Silk Fibroin Scaffolds with Macropores for Bone Regeneration: An In Vitro and In Vivo Study
Abstract
We developed three-dimensional electrospun silk fibroin (ESF) scaffolds with controllable pore size. The purpose of this study was to evaluate ESF scaffolds with pores (P-ESF) for bone regeneration via in vitro and in vivo studies, with a comparison to a commercially available porous three-dimensional polylactic acid (PLA) scaffold. P-ESF supported significantly higher proliferation and alkaline phosphatase activity of osteoblasts than PLA in vitro (p < 0.05). Moreover, higher expression levels of activated adhesion-related proteins, including focal adhesion kinase, were observed in the P-ESF than in PLA, as confirmed by western blot analyses. Microcomputed tomography revealed that 78.30% of the original bone volume was attained in the P-ESF implantation group at 7 weeks after critical bone defect formation in rat calvaria. Comparatively, the PLA implantation group showed only 49.31%. Histological evaluation also showed new bone tissue formation upon P-ESF implantation. Taken together, the P-ESF scaffold may be a good bone substitute for bone regeneration.

In the citing paper
“The researchers used the three-dimensional porous scaffolds of silk fibroin prepared by electrostatic spinning and three-dimensional PLA scaffolds to carry out experimental comparative studies, and the results showed that the silk fibroin scaffolds could significantly promote the ALP activity and osteogenic differentiation ability of mouse embryonic osteoblast precursor cells (MC3T3-E1);”

The cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“moreover, the silk fibroin scaffolds were significantly superior to the PLA scaffolds in terms of the ability to form new bone in the animal experiments [75], which suggests that electrostatically spun silk fibroin scaffolds have good potential for bone tissue repair.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
