Cytocompatibility and response of osteoblastic-like cells to starch-based polymers : effect of several additives and processing conditions

This work reports on the biocompatibility evaluation of new biodegradable starch-based polymers that are under consideration for use in orthopaedic temporary applications and as tissue engineering scaffolds. It has been shown in previous works that by using these polymers it is both possible to prod...
