Abstract
The development of a co-cultured skin model was analyzed using biocomposite cell support membranes. 1:20 w/w collagen:poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) composite membranes were prepared by impregnation of lyophilised collagen mats with a solution of PCL (MW 115,000) in DCM followed by solvent evaporation (3). A sterilizing filter holder with a diameter of 13 mm was modified to hold the biocomposite film between open chambers, which allowed the cell culture medium to contact both sides of the membrane. The results show attachment and spreading of both cell types indicating the establishment of focal contacts with the collagen: PCL substrate.
