Abstract:An extracellular matrix-like poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL)/gelatin core-shell nanofibrous scaffold with high hydrophilicity was developed by coaxial-elecrospinning. However, the behavior of vascular endothelial cells (ECs) on the modified scaffold remains limited. In this study, human umbilical vein ECs (HUVECs) were seeded onto PCL scaffolds with or without gelatin. Morphological changes of HUVECs were observed under confocal laser scanning microscopy (LSCM). HUVECs’ adhesion, proliferation and apoptosis were d… Show more
