Abstract:
Histoloaical and biochemical investigations were carried out in order to evaluate the
chondrocyte compatibility of a recently developed biodegradable polyesterurethane-foam
(DegraPol® foam). Therefore, cell adhesion, cell growth, and the preservation of
chondrocyte phenotype was measured in rat xyphoid chondrocytes seeded on DegraPol-
foam. Chondrocytes, isolated from xyphoids of adult male rats, exhibited relatively high cell
adhesion on DegraPol-foam (about 60% of that found on TCPS). Scanning electron ...
