Özet

Bacterial cellulose (BC) and quince seed mucilage are very promising biological materials. In this study, we reported the design and fabrication of a novel biocompatible scaffold with excellent fibroblast cell proliferation, making it a promising composite scaffold for wound dressings. The composite scaffold was fabricated by ex situ modification of bacterial cellulose by quince seed mucilage. The products were investigated to determine their morphological features, chemical features, and thermal and swelling behaviors. Cell culture and proliferation tests were performed to obtain information on biocompatibility of the scaffolds. This work indicates the novel scaffold provides great potential in wound dressing for clinical application.
