Poly(epsilon-caprolactone)-based substrates bearing pendant small chemical groups as a platform for systemic investigation of chondrogenesis

摘要

ObjectivesPhysiochemical properties of biomaterials play critical roles in dictating types of cell behaviour. In this study, a series of poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL)-derived polymers bearing different small chemical groups was employed as a platform to evaluate chondrogenesis of different cell types.
