Abstract excerpt
A photo-immobilisation procedure was utilised to create two different micro-patterned surfaces (tracks 25 and 5 microm wide) of hyaluronan (Hyal) on polyethylene-terephthalate (PET) previously plasma activated. Aim of the study was to investigate the proliferation and re-differentiation capacity of articular chondrocytes cultured on micro-patterned Hyal, compared to homogeneous Hyal and plain plasma-treated...
