Abstract
Spectroscopic optical coherence tomography is used to monitor fibroblast cell proliferation in silk fibroin (SF) scaffolds. Time points of 1, 3, and 5-weeks are chosen to give sufficient time for the fibroblasts to proliferate before harvesting. Fibroblasts and their distribution in the SF scaffolds are clearly differentiated in the spectroscopic images. (c) 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 55:2587-2594, 2013
