Table 1. Summary of in vitro preparation of cell-scaffold constructs.
Group | Seeding method | Culture condition | Cell suspension concentration per scaffold | Cell suspension volume per scaffold | Cell number per scaffold | Seeding efficiency (%) |
A | Hydrodynamic | Hydrodynamic | 1.0×106 cells/ml | 1.00 ml | 1.0×106 | 32.10±0.72# |
B | Hydrogel-assisted | Hydrodynamic | 2.0×107 cells/ml | 0.05 ml | 1.0×106 | 82.14±1.09 |
C | Static | Static | 2.0×107 cells/ml | 0.05 ml | 1.0×106 | 25.24±1.56* |
D | Hydrogel-assisted | Static | 2.0×107 cells/ml | 0.05 ml | 1.0×106 | 81.53±1.37 |
: seeding efficiency in group C was lower than that in other groups (p<0.05);
: seeding efficiency in group A was lower than that in group B and D (p<0.05).
