ABSTRACT
Objective This experiment aimed to confirm whether man made porous chitosan scaffold is a appropriate scaffold for chondrocyte culutre of tissue engineering Methods Chondrocytes were seeded onto porous chitosan and chitosan collagen complex scaffolds for culture in a three dimensional environment The scaffolds in hydrophilia and adhesion to chondrocytes were observed with light microscope and scanning electron microscope The number of the cells attached to the scaffolds and the function of the cells were detected with MTT automated colormetric microassay Result Chondrocytes can multiple and secrete the matrix on the poros chitosan and chitosan collagensc scaffolds The cell adhesion rates were 81 25% and 87 50% respectively Conclusion Chitosan can be fabricated into a suitable three dimensional porous scaffold Porous chitosan collagen complex scafflold may be a more suitable scaffold for chondrocyte culutre of tissue engineering
