Preliminary Characterization of Genipin-Cross-Linked Silk Sericin/Poly(vinyl alcohol) Films as Two-Dimensional Wound Dressings for the Healing of Superficial Wounds

Figure 6

(a) Viability of L929 mouse fibroblast cells cultured on silk sericin/PVA films cross-linked with genipin at different concentrations (0, 0.01, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, and 0.1% w/v) for (□) 24 h and (■) 72 h. (b) Morphology of L929 cells cultured on non-cross-linked silk sericin/PVA films and silk sericin/PVA films cross-linked with 0.1% w/v genipin for 24 h. * , significant against the values of non-cross-linked films.
