Fig. S1. SEM images of electrospun PLGA, gelatin and GelMA scaffolds after water
immersion for 24 h. GelMA-2, 6 and 10 represent GelMA fibers photocrosslinked by
UV light radiation for 2, 6 and 10 min, respectively.
Fig. S2. Degradation of the electrospun PLGA, gelatin and GelMA fibers. Mass loss
of control PLGA scaffolds was minimal compared to all other groups. For GelMA
scaffolds, mass loss was negatively correlated with UV light crosslinking times.
GelMA-2 exhibited the most pronounced percentage mass loss which was statistically
significant compared to the mass loss of all other scaffolds (p < 0.05). GelMA-2, 6
and 10 represent GelMA fibers photocrosslinked by UV light radiation for 2, 6 and 10
min, respectively.
Fig. S3. Representative fluorescence images showing cell attachment and spreading
on different electrospun scaffolds after 1, 4 and 7 days of culture. Cell filaments were
stained by phalloidin (green) and nuclei stained by DAPI (blue) (scale bar = 100 µm).
Fig. S4. Wound healing time profile of different scaffolds. The wound closure was
calculated as the ratio of the area of healed wounds compared to the original area of
wound. Wounds treated with GelMA-10 scaffolds healed completely by day 21,
followed by progressively slower healing rate of wounds treated with gelatin
scaffolds, PLGA and untreated scaffolds.
Fig. S5. Crosslinking of uncrosslinked gelatin (A) and GelMA (B) using
glutaraldehyde and photo-initiator. GelMA has increased chain length of crosslinkers
(see dash line box).
