Bone Repair Using a Hybrid Scaffold of Self-Assembling Peptide PuraMatrix and Polyetheretherketone Cage in Rats

Self-assembling peptide scaffold (SAPS) is well known to have very good bone conduction properties. However, the intensity of SAPS is too weak to actually use it for a clinical bone regeneration. Therefore, we have produced a hybrid scaffold system that involves fabricating a cage from polyetherethe...
