Abstract

We have demonstrated the in vitro formation of microcapillary-like structures containing a lumen by HDMEC in coculture with human osteoblast cells on both PNT and coated PNT and both cell types exhibit cell-specific characteristics observed in vivo. This study indicates that both materials exhibit high endothelial and osteoblast compatibility and may be excellent choices for study in vivo as bone biomaterials.
