Figure 9

(a) Typical cell viability response of MTT assay of PVA/BaG and PVA/BaG/GA hybrids crosslinked with 1.0% and 5.0% GA before and after in vitro degradation (21 days). Also, PVA/BaG/GA (5.0%) with NH4OH stabilization process. SEM images of hybrid scaffolds crosslinked at different magnifications with evidence of cell adhesion/spreading (b, c) (*see [38]).
