Protein expression by bone mesenchymal stem cells cultivated in PLLA scaffolds with different pore geometry |
| |
Abstract: | AbstractThe effects of poly(L,L-lactide) (PLLA) scaffold with axial and isotropic structure were investigated on functional activity of rabbit bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). PLLA scaffolds were processed by freeze-dry technique at different temperatures of the scaffold frost – ?196?°C, ?25?°C and 0?°C. Scaffolds with different pore sizes were obtained by adding 5 or 10% of water phase. Scaffolds were modified by collagen type I solution. The pore sizes of polymer scaffolds were ranging from 5 to 150?µm. More protein secretion was observed in the surface-modified scaffolds than in the unmodified after 2 weeks of cultivation in vitro. |
