Article Synopsis
- Chitosan scaffolds are important in tissue engineering, but it's unclear how their microstructure affects cell interactions.
- The study focused on how chitin nano-whiskers (CNW) doped into chitosan matrices impact the behavior of rat bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) regarding adhesion, spreading, and proliferation.
- Results showed that BMSCs on highly porous, crystalline chitosan-CNW films behaved similarly to those on standard polystyrene plates, while amorphous structures reduced cell spreading and growth, indicating that the physical properties of the materials can be adjusted to influence cell behavior.
