Inverted light micrographs of human periodontal ligament cells on porcine atelocollagen (left panel, incubated for 3 d) and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide (EDC) cross-linked salmon atelocollagen (SC) (right panel, incubated for 3 d).

The treatment of SC with EDC highly improved the thermostability of SC and the proliferative potential of the human cells, suggesting the EDC cross-linked SC fibrillar gel can be utilized for the development of cellular matrices and tissue engineering.
