Academic Publishing insists on taking academic exchange and publication as the main line, carrying out comprehensive management based on science and technology, and fully exploring excellent international publishing resources. Within 5 years, it will form a strategic framework and scale with science (S), technology (T), medicine (M), education (E), and humanities and arts (H) as the main publishing fields. Academic Publishing is headquartered in Singapore and based in Malaysia, with the United States and China providing the main scientific and academic resources. At the same time, it has established long-term good cooperative relations with other publishing companies, scientific research communities, and academic organizations in more than a dozen countries and regions. Academic Publishing uses English and Chinese as its main publishing languages, mainly publishing books, journals, and conference papers in print and online. The vast majority of publications follow the international open access policy, providing stable and long-term quality and professional publications. With the joint efforts of the expert team and our professional editorial team, our publications will gradually be indexed by international databases in stages to provide convenient and professional retrieval for various scholars. At the same time, manuscripts we accept will be subject to the peer review principle, and cutting-edge and innovative research articles will be preferentially accepted for peer reference and discussion. All kinds of our publications are welcome for peer to contribute, access, and download.

Effect of electrospun SF/CS composite fiber scaffold on cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs in vitroby Feiyang Chen, Shoushan Bu, Hai Zhuang, Chunling Gong, Jisheng Zhang
Ecomaterials, Vol.1, No.1, 2021;
Objective: Using electrospinning to preparesilk fibroin/chitosan (SF/CS) nanofiber membrane scaffolds, and then evaluating its properties and effects on proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) . Methods: The regenerated silk fibroin (SF) and chitosan (CS) were dissolved in the mixed solvent system of trifluoroacetic acid and dichloromethane by mass ratio (1 : 0, 1 : 1) . The structure and properties of the electrospun films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermal gravity/differential thermal gravity analysis (TG/DTG). Cells in the experimental group were inoculated on the surface of SF and SF/CS membrane respectively. Cells in the control group were directly inoculated in culture dish. hBMSCs were used in each group to induce osteogenesis. CCK-8 was used to study the growth and proliferation of cells. Energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and alizarin red staining (ARS) were used to detect the ability of osteogenesis and mineralization. Results: Compared with SF scaffolds, SF/CS scaffolds had more uniform fiber diameter (SEM) and more stable conformation (FTIR) ; TG/DTG results showed that SF scaffolds had more thermal stability. CCK-8 showed that compared with the control group, there was no significant difference in proliferation of hBMSCs between SF and SF/CS groups when co-cultured for 5 and 7 days (P>0.05) . After 21 days of culture, elemental analysis indicated that the SF/CS group had higher calcium content. Compared with the control group and SF group, calcified nodules of hBMSCs in SF/CS group were significantly increased and staining was deep. Conclusions: Electrospinning SF/CS nanofibers scaffolds have good biocompatibility and can promote osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs.
