Study Of Neuro2a Cells On The Biomaterials Poly L-Lactic Acid And Poly Caprolactone

Biomaterials poly L-lactic acid (PLLA) and poly caprolactone (PCL) are the most studied in the area of bioresorbable materials. Among the main features that contribute to cell interaction, we have the specific surface chemistry, electrical, hydrophobicity and topography. Also, is observed the degradation time, porosity, biocompatibility with biological tissue, as well as the preparation of the most varied shapes and sizes. The practice of cell culture, aims to study the adhesion, migration, differentiation and cell proliferation using a given material or substance. However, few studies were performed using these biomaterials and the application of neuro2A cells. It is known that this cell type is derived from the embryonic neural crest cells, which originate in sympathetic neurons and have the characteristic of immortality, therefore, are excellent models in vitro assays. Accordingly, the present study evaluates the adhesion and proliferation of this cell line on the biopolymers poly caprolactone (PCL) and poly L-lactic acid (PLLA).
