Direct‐Write Assembly of 3D Silk/Hydroxyapatite Scaffolds for Bone Co‐Cultures

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: 3D silk/HA microperiodic scaffolds for bone tissue engineering and angiogenesis are fabricated by direct-write assembly. This approach can be used to control filament and spacing size in the scaffold to allow investigation of the effect of scaffold architecture on osteogenesis and vessel-like structure formation from stem cells and endothelial cells.
