Development of an injectable, in situ crosslinkable, degradable polymeric carrier for osteogenic cell populations. Part 1. Encapsulation of marrow stromal osteoblasts in surface crosslinked gelatin microparticles.

Abstract excerpt

This study investigated the temporary encapsulation of rat marrow stromal osteoblasts in surface crosslinked gelatin microparticles. Cells were encapsulated in uncrosslinked gelatin microparticles of average diameter of 630 microm containing approximately 53 cells. Gelatin microparticles were crosslinked to shell thicknesses of approximately 75 microm via exposure to 1 mM dithiobis(succinimidylpropionate) (DSP)...
