Chitosan/polyester-based scaffolds for cartilage tissue engineering: assessment of extracellular matrix formation

Naturally derived polymers have been extensively used in scaffold production for cartilage tissue engineering. The present work aims to evaluate and characterize extracellular matrix (ECM) formation in two types of chitosan-based scaffolds, using bovine articular chondrocytes (BACs). The influence o...
