Abstract

Bioresorbable polymers have been studied as support for cell culture in the tissue engineering area. Osteoblastic cells were cultivated on poly(epsilon-caprolactone), poly(lactic acid-co-glycolic acid), and (70/30), (50/50), and (30/70) blends. Cytotoxicity and cell adhesion assays and scanning electronic microscopy studies were described. The cells presented significant growth on the blends, showing no cytotoxic response. Results indicated that these blends are promising as devices for bone tissue applications. (C) 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. I Appl Polym Sci 115:2609-2615,2010 (AU)
