Biological Activity
Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PolyHEMA) retains moisture content similar to the live tissue and is resistant to degradation and absorption by the host cells. It can be easily manufactured in a variety of shapes and can be readily sterilized[1].
Proliferation rate of the cells that had been cultured on Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) is reduced; Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) does not induce cell death in the hRPE cultures. Human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells cultured on Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) formed many giant spheroid colonies. The giant colonies are re-cultured and the presence of retinal progenitor markers and markers of hRPE cells are detected in cell cultures on Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)[1].
