The Influence of the Physical Environment on Annulus Fibrosus Cells Cultured on Oriented Nanofibrous Polyurethane Scaffolds
Tissue engineering the annulus fibrosus (AF) for use in a functional intervertebral disc replacement is a promising alternative to current treatments of degenerative disc disease. Polycarbonate urethane (PU) scaffolds have demonstrated the ability to support AF cell attachment and matrix synthesis a...
