P(3HB) Based Magnetic Nanocomposites: Smart Materials for Bone Tissue Engineering

Figure 14

SEM images of MG-63 cells growing on (A1) TCP; (B1) neat P(3HB); (C1) P(3HB)/MNP; and (D1) P(3HB)/FF film on day 1. SEM images of MG-63 cells growing on (A2) tissue culture plastic; (B2) neat P(3HB); (C2) P(3HB)/MNP; and (D2) P(3HB)/FF film at day 7. Higher magnification of MG-63 cells growing at day 7 revealing healthy cells that flattened out and attached on the surface of the materials and on each other forming a monolayer on (A3) tissue culture plastic; (B3) neat P(3HB); (C3) P(3HB)/MNP; and (D3) P(3HB)/FF films. Arrows highlight cells attached on the materials.
