The objective of the present study was to fabricate a gold nanoparticle crosslinked chitosan (Ch/AuNPs) composite film simple and to evaluate its use as a carrier matrix for L929-fibroblasts. L929-fibroblasts were seeded either onto Ch or Ch/AuNPs scaffolds. The Ch/AuNPs scaffold exhibited a higher cell proliferation and growth rate. The cytotoxicity test determined trypan blue staining indicated that Ch scaffolds devoid of AuNPs expressed almost no toxicity while the Ch/AuNPs composite scaffolds expressed a very limited toxicity only at higher doses. The Ch/AuNPs scaffold promotes cell attachment, growth and proliferation with almost no cytotoxicity.
