摘要: Skeletal stem cell (SSC) growth on a novel porous HA/TCP scaffold has been investigated in vivo. The effect of porosity osteogenic differentiation was assessed by comparing two groups scaffolds with differing but controlled pore size. Histology, microCT, scanning electron microscopy, and biochemical analysis were used to assess SSC proliferation differentiation. 45 pores per inch (ppi) demonstrated greater increase density than the 30 ppi following vivo culture, reduction dimensions channels higher observed, indicating generation new tissue within pores. All supported augmented ALP specific activity enhanced compared scaffold. These studies demonstrate importance design impact therein for engineering application.
