proliferation assays showed that the cells adhered and proliferated well on the scaffolds. The quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) results showed excellent expression of CjEC genes, with reduced expression of inflammatory mediators. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining showed that the engineered conjunctiva constructed with SF/PLCL scaffolds consisted of 2-4 layers of epithelium. Furthermore, SF/PLCL scaffolds transplanted subcutaneously exhibited excellent biocompatibility. Therefore, SF/PLCL scaffolds may find biomedical applications in conjunctival reconstruction in the near future.
