“…The results of the MTS and genomic DNA quantification assays showed that the final numbers of cells on the crosslinked zein fibers (SHPXL, XL-L, XL-M, and XL-H) and zein films (ZFXL) after 24 h were higher than the cell numbers on uncross-linked zein fibers (UXL) and films (ZFUL), due to the enhanced stiffness of the scaffolds [36], and that they retained interconnected pores [6,10).…”
