New porous scaffolds, with a suitable hydrolytic and enzymatic degradation, useful for tissue engineering applications have been obtained by a carbodiimide mediated reaction between hyaluronan (HA) and a synthetic polymer with a polyaminoacid structure such as a,b-polyaspartylhydrazide (PAHy). Scaffolds with a different molar ratio between PAHy repeating units and HA repeating units have been prepared and characterized from a chemical and physicochemical point of view. Tests of indirect and direct cytotoxicity, cell adhesion, and spreading on these biomaterials have been performed by using murine L929 fibroblasts. The new biomaterials showed a good cell compatibility and ability to allow cell migration into the scaffolds as well as spreading on their surface.

Abstract
New porous scaffolds, with a suitable hydrolytic and enzymatic degradation, useful for tissue engineering applications have been obtained by a carbodiimide mediated reaction between hyaluronan (HA) and a synthetic polymer with a polyaminoacid structure such as a,b-polyaspartylhydrazide (PAHy). Scaffolds with a different molar ratio between PAHy repeating units and HA repeating units have been prepared and characterized from a chemical and physicochemical point of view. Tests of indirect and direct cytotoxicity, cell adhesion, and spreading on these biomaterials have been performed by using murine L929 fibroblasts. The new biomaterials showed a good cell compatibility and ability to allow cell migration into the scaffolds as well as spreading on their surface.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
