Dietmar’s scaffolds have arrived.

Scaffolds arrived via Express Post on 16/09/21

This means that we can do some tests to see how the HBVPs grow in a matrix.  The scaffolds include some flat and tubular sections for initial experimentation.

MPCL Scaffolds – tubular structures at varying heights.

Scaffolds in Petri Dish  – flat square structures. 

I will need to confirm with Dietmar’s group but the notations seem to indicate that the scaffolds are  medical grade polycaprolactone (mPCL) with some tubes including a  calcium phosphate (CaP) coating.
