제목 The effect of collagen/cell incorporation into elastic PLCL scaffold
초록 One of the challenges in the tissue engineering of tubular tissues and organs is the efficient seeding of porous scaffods in a short period of time, without affecting cell viability. Recently, poly(L-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) (PLCL) copolymers have been applied as a biomaterial for vascular graft due to the high elastic property. However, these extruded PLCL scaffolds caused a few problems to be improved in respect of not only the cell seeding efficiency and cell in-growth. This study was focused on a collagen/smooth muscle cells mixture seeding method to improve cell adhesion and proliferation in tubular porous scaffolds for vascular grafts application. Cell adhesion and proliferation efficiency increased in collagen/SMCs incorporating PLCL scaffolds as compared with PLCL scaffolds in which only SMCs were seeded. In particular, cell proliferation and elastin contents were the highest in a PLCL scaffold with 50~100 μm pore size than any other scaffolds used in this experiment.
