    Cell growth experiments performed by the neutral red uptake assay. The indicated polymers were incubated for 1 hour with 1 mg/mL fibronectin or 10% FCS containing medium before seeding with (A) 48,000 per well adult, (B) 69,000 per well fetus SMCs. The assay was performed after 7 days in culture.
