Polymer that proliferate, crosslinked

If this interpretation is correct, it should also be possible to prepare crosslinked glassy polymers that proliferate in contact with a monovinyl compound. Such materials have been obtained by polymerizing styrene with a high concentration of divinylbenzene in the presence of a diluent... 

Fibroblasts are the main cells of connective tissue responsible for the production of collagen and mucopolysaccharides. Physicochemical properties of surfaces, along with polymer matrix components, cell membranes, and cyto-skeleton, most hkely are involved in fibroblast adhesion [26]. Mirzadeh et al. [27] carried out in-vitro studies on the effect of crosshnking density on fibroblast cell behavior using mouse fibroblast L-929 cells. Their results showed that the crosslinks density, and consequently molecular mobility, cause changes to the cell behavior. The above researchers found that there is an optimum molecular mobility for PDMS at which the number and surface area of cells show the best cell attachment and proliferation.
