Figure 6

Short- and long-term viability studies of mesenchymal stem cells in contact with silk fibroin films. (a) Representative flow cytometry dot plots to illustrate the relationship between propidium iodide fluorescence intensity (a marker of late apoptotic and necrotic cells) and cellular size (Forward Scatter) in MSCs over TCP or silk fibroin. (b) Percentage of dead cells across time after seeding. The insets in the top part show representative microscopy images of MSCs grown over TCP or silk fibroin at seven weeks of culture (Scale bar: 100 μm). The data are shown as mean ± the SEM of three independent experiments with 9 samples per group and temporal point.
