Abstract

The cover image created by Albanelly Soto-Quintero and colleagues shows fluorescence micrographs of HaCat cell adhesion on PVA/SA scaffolds mats prepared with varying concentrations of SA (3.5, 4.0, and 5.0 wt%). Many cells can be seen attached to the surface of the mats after 7 days of culture. Interestingly, a slight change in the SA concentration changes the pattern of cell adhesion. Cells attached to the 3.5 wt% SA scaffolds show well-defined round clusters, whereas the 4.0 wt% and 5.0 wt% SA show a homogenous distribution over the surface while maintaining their characteristic cuboidal shape.
