Métodos de cultivo directo e indirecto para el estudio de materiales de implantes biodegradables in vitro

Overview

This article introduces three methods for evaluating the in vitro cytocompatibility of biodegradable implant materials: direct culture, direct exposure culture, and exposure culture. These methods mimic different in vivo cell-implant interactions and are essential for studying various biodegradable materials.
