## Abstract Bioactivity of biomaterials was a new requirement, especially in tissue engineering and drug delivery. As a traditional used biomaterial, polylactide (PLA) had no bioactivity, of course, and it still had few reactive groups to introduce some bioactive molecules in its bulk. Here, we wan

## Abstract This study adds to a previous morphological work (paper I) with further characterization of the developed poly(lactic acid) (PLA) blends containing amylopectin, which made use of an ethyleneβvinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) as a meltβcompoundable carrier for the polysaccharide in the biop
Sterically stabilized biocompatible poly(lactic acid) (PLA) nanospheres were prepared by an o/w emulsion/evaporation technique, using hydrophobically modified dextrans (DexP) as the emulsion stabilizer. Photon correlation spectroscopy, zetametry, and differential scanning calorimetry studies corrobo
## Abstract A hydroxyapatite/collagen (HAC) composite was produced to mimic the natural extracellular matrix of bone, with the collagen serving as a template for apatite formation. A threeβdimensional highly porous scaffold was developed by mixing HAC with poly(Lβlactic acid) (PLA) using a thermall
## Abstract Controlled regeneration of bone or cartilage has recently begun to facilitate a host of novel clinical treatments. An osteoblast line, which we isolated is able to form new bone matrix in vivo within 2 days and exhibits a mature osteoblast phenotype both in vitro and in vivo. Using thes
