Flow rate induced changes in porosity of electrospun synthetic human elastin scaffold: Increase in flow rate led to an increase in pore diameter and porosity as evident from Image J analysis of SEM pictures (a: processed data, b: cross-section images). Dermal fibroblast cells largely remained on the surface in case of low porous scaffold, whereas the cells infiltrated deep in case of high porous scaffold (c: fluorescence images, blue: DAPI staining, red: scaffold autofluorescence).
