Abstract The effects of poly(L,L-lactide) (PLLA) scaffold with axial and isotropic structure were investigated on functional activity of rabbit bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). PLLA scaffolds were processed by freeze-dry technique at different temperatures of the scaffold frost – −196 °C, −25 °C and 0 °C. Scaffolds with different pore sizes were obtained by adding 5 or 10% of water phase. Scaffolds were modified by collagen type I solution. The pore sizes of polymer scaffolds were ranging from 5 to 150 µm. More protein secretion was observed in the surface-modified scaffolds than in the unmodified after 2 weeks of cultivation in vitro.
