## Abstract Criticalβsize bone defects usually require the insertion of autogenous bone graft to heal. Harvesting of bone is traumatic and results in high morbidity at the donor site. A potential alternative to bone graft may be a bone substitute with adequate biocompatibility and biological proper

Scaffolds for tissue engineering should be biocompatible and stimulate rapid blood vessel ingrowth. Herein, we analyzed in vivo the biocompatibility and vascularization of three novel types of biodegradable porous polyurethane scaffolds. The polyurethane scaffolds, i.e., PU-S, PU-M and PU-F, were im
## Abstract A unique composite scaffold for boneβtissue engineering applications has been prepared by combining biodegradable poly(lactideβ__co__βglycolide) (PLGA) with bioresorbable calcium phosphate (CaP) cement particles through the process of particle fusion and phase separation/particle leachi
## Abstract The aim of this study was to develop a bioactive, degradable, and cytocompatible akermanite (Ca~2~MgSi~2~O~7~) scaffold with high porosity and pore interconnectivity. In brief, porous akermanite scaffolds were prepared using polymer sponge method. The porosity and corresponding compress
## Abstract The purpose of this research was to develop and characterize a novel, slowly degrading polyesterurethane. In this study, a polyesterurethane with a crystalline segment of poly((R)β3βhydroxybutyric acid)βdiol linked by a diisocyanate to an amorphous segment of poly(Ξ΅βcaprolactoneβ__co__β
