| Abstract | Herein we report successful synthesis of silk fibroin (SF) three dimensional scaffolds (SF 3D-scaffold) from SF sponge and SF nanofibers. Both the nanofibers and sponge were prepared from Bombyx mori fibroin. The SF 3D-scaffold was prepared by electrospinning the fibroin nanofibers over the sponge. Surface morphology was determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), while nanofiber diameter and pore size were measured using imageJ software. Effect of spinning time on the pore size and cell adhesion was determined. Average diameter of the SF nanofibers was measured to be 320 nm and pore size was found to reduce with increasing spinning time, such that, for 1 h spinning time pore size was 231 µm and the same for 3.5 h was 4.1 µm. However, the number of pores increased with spinning time. The results confirmed adhesion of MC3T3-E1 cells on the SF sponge, SF nanofibers and SF three dimensional scaffolds. Higher cell adhesion was found on the three dimensional scaffold in comparison to the nanofibers and sponge, possibly due to highly porous structure with very small and numerous pores in the resultant composite; hence more cell adhesion sites. The cell adhesion result confirmed biocompatibility of the SF 3D-scaffold and hence its suitability for applications in tissue engineering. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
