79 Flexible Support Materials Maintain Disc Height and Support the Formation of Hydrated Tissue Engineered Intervertebral Discs in Vivo
OBJECTIVES/GOALS: We evaluated the long-term success of tissue engineered intervertebral discs (TE-IVDs) cultured in flexible (FPLA) or stiff (PLA) support materials, hypothesizing that FPLA would maintain disc height and tissue hydration in the minipig spine. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: TE-IVD: NP ce...
