Preparation and characterization of water-soluble C60/Silk fibroin nanocomposite for cartilage regeneration application

Novel salt-leached silk fibroin scaffolds were generated via highly concentrated silk fibroin solutions. The water-soluble C60 can be prepared by chemical modification. It is expected that the preparation of water-soluble C60/silk nanocomposite could bring new insights in cartilage regeneration.
