Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to establish in vitro culture of chondrocytes on biodegradable, poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) [PLGA] scaffolds. STUDY DESIGN: Laboratory experiment using cartilage of rat rib and biodegradable scaffolds. METHODS: Chondrocytes were cultured on a poly-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (poly-HEMA)-coated dish, proliferated, and transferred into the PLGA scaffolds. Phenotypic...
