Abstract excerpt
The specific aim of our investigation is to study the potential use of a collagen/heparin-carrying polystyrene (HCPS) composite extracellular matrix for articular cartilage tissue engineering. Here, we created a high-performance extracellular matrix (HpECM) scaffold to build an optimal extracellular environment using an HCPS we originally developed, and an atelocollagen honeycomb-shaped-scaffold (ACHMS-scaffold)...
