“…Solutions of lyophilized bovine Fg (Fraction 1, Type 1-S from bovine plasma, Sigma Aldrich) were made with a 10% (by volume) 10X minimal essential medium (MEM, Sigma Aldrich) and 90% 1,1,1,3,3,3 hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFP; TCI America, Portland, OR) at concentrations of 100 mg/mL (ratio determined to make biomimetic fiber diameters as described in our prior work [37]), and allowed to dissolve overnight with shaking. Solutions of PDO (Ethicon, Somerville, NJ) were made at 100 mg/ml concentrations, dissolved in HFP overnight with shaking at room temperature (RT).…”
