摘要: Electrospun polymer/apatite composite scaffolds are promising candidates as functional bone substitutes because of their ability to allow pre-osteoblast attachment, proliferation, and differentiation. However these structures usually lack an adequate pore size permit sufficient cell migration colonization the scaffold. To overcome this limitation, we developed apatite-coated electrospun PLLA scaffold with varying porosity by utilizing a three-step water-soluble PEO fiber inclusion, dissolution, mineralization process. The temporal spatial dynamics into were quantified determine effects enhanced on infiltration. MC3T3-E1 was found be function both initial content time. Scaffolds greater (50% 75% PEO) had drastically accelerated infiltration in addition distribution throughout when compared lower (0% 25% PEO). Furthermore, apatite substrate significantly upregulated alkaline phosphatase activity, osteocalcin content, cell-mediated alone. These findings suggest that such enhances infiltration, colonization, maturation vitro may lead overall improved formation implanted vivo.
