Biocompatibility of  Novel Type I Collagen Purified from Tilapia Fish Scale: An In Vitro Comparative Study

<div>No evident difference in terms of cell morphology and number was observed on 19 hours in each group. On 44 hours, more cells attached to T-COL and P-COL substrates as compared to TCPS; cells cultured in P-COL and T-COL adopted well spread, extended shape, whereas those cultured in TCPS were scarcely scattered and poorly spread. On day 3, cell number in each group increased progressively with time; however, the number of cells in T-COL and P-COL was significantly higher than that in TCPS. Scale bar equals 20 <i>μ</i>m.</div>
