    Abstract

    The objective of this study was to evaluate the osteogenic differentiation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) into polycaprolactone scaffold (PCL). After ADSC characterization, cells were seeded onto the scaffolds and incubated with basal or osteogenic differentiating medium to MTT assay and osteogenesis evaluation. MTT cell viability assay showedthatcell-seeded scaffolds cultured in both mediums presented formazan cristals formed as a result of the presence of viable cells. The osteogenic assay showedthatcell-seeded PCL scaffolds cultured in osteogenic medium presentedsignificantly greater amount of staining dye when compared to basal medium and scaffold without cells.The PCL scaffoldhave great potential to be usedassociated to ADSCs in Tissue Engineering to bone tissue regeneration
