An in-vitro study on the proliferative potential of rat bone marrow stem cells on electrospun fibrous polycaprolactone scaffolds containing micro-hydroxyapatite particles
Hydroxyapatite has a chemical composition that closely resembles the mineral phase of natural hard tissues, making it a good material for use as a bone scaffold. Previous studies have demonstrated that the use of electrospun nanofibres that contain synthetic hydroxyapatite aids in bone regeneration....
