Abstract:
The present investigation was focused on the cell compatibility of recently developed
biodegradable polyesterurethane-foam (DegraPol-foam) to chondrocytes and osteoblasts.
Both chondrocytes and osteoblasts, isolated from adult male rats, exhibited relatively high
cell adhesion on DegraPol-foam. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that cells
grew on the surface and into the open cell pores of the foam. Morphologically, cells found on
the surface of the foam exhibited a flat cell appearance and built a confluent cell multilayer ...
