The Morphology and Functions of Articular Chondrocytes on a Honeycomb-Patterned Surface
The present study investigated the potential of a novel micropatterned substrate for neocartilage formation. Articular chondrocytes were cultured on poly(ɛ-caprolactone) materials whose surfaces were either flat or honeycomb-patterned. The latter was prepared using a novel self-organization techniqu...
