Abstract: | As a three-dimensional carrier for cell culture, a honeycomb structure cell scaffold was created from atelopeptide collagen Types I, II, and III. The diameter of the honeycomb pores ranged from 100 to 1,000 microm. The depth of the pores was from 10 to 3,000 mm. The scaffold was elastic and hard. Creation of various shapes was easy, and these shapes were easily maintained. Human fibroblasts, CHO-K1, BHK-21, and bovine endothelial cells were cultured with the scaffold. The growth curves of these cells were satisfactory. These results suggest that this carrier is a suitable scaffold for cell culture and will be useful as a three-dimensional tissue engineering scaffold. |
