The Study on Biocompatibility of Porous nHA/PLGA Composite Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering with Rabbit Chondrocytes In Vitro
Figure 5
SEM images of the cocultured porous PLGA/n-HA composites with chondrocytes. (a) The chondrocytes were seeded on the composite and after 1 day in culture, cells were observed to adhere to the composite (1000x). (b) Cell processes were seen extending from the pores after 3 days in coculture (2000x). (c) Cells adhering to the composite increased after 3 days in coculture and connected with each other by processes (5000x). (d) The surfaces of the composite were fully covered by cells after 5 days in co-culture (1000x).
