Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Some scholars have prepared zein/chitosan composite membrane based on blending methods, and preliminary evaluation of its physical and chemical properties shows that chitosan partly improves the mechanical properties and hydrophilic properties of zein. Therefore, zein/chitosan composite membrane presumably has good cytocompatibility, which is beneficial to osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.
