Effects of pore size in 3-D fibrous matrix on human trophoblast tissue development

(eng)  

The effects of pore size in a 3-D polyethylene terephthalate (PET) nonwoven fibrous matrix on long-term tissue development of human trophoblast ED27 cells were studied. Thermal compression was used to modify the porosity and pore size of the PET matr...
