Abstract
Abstract Objective To prove that calcium alginate beads can be used as scaffolds during in vitro culture. Methods Mouse preosteoblastic cells (MC3T3-E1) were encapsulated in calcium alginate hydrogel beads. The Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was used to assess cell viability at 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, and 21 days. Calcein-AM and propidium iodide (PI) were employed for live/dead staining. Results MC3T3-E1 cells were alive on day 21 and had the highest viability on day 14. Conclusion MC3T3-E1 cells could be encapsulated in calcium alginate hydrogel beads and cultured. Calcium alginate hydrogel beads can be used as scaffolds for three-dimensional in vitro culture.
期刊介绍:
Science and Engineering of Composite Materials is a quarterly publication which provides a forum for discussion of all aspects related to the structure and performance under simulated and actual service conditions of composites. The publication covers a variety of subjects, such as macro and micro and nano structure of materials, their mechanics and nanomechanics, the interphase, physical and chemical aging, fatigue, environmental interactions, and process modeling. The interdisciplinary character of the subject as well as the possible development and use of composites for novel and specific applications receives special attention.
