description Composite scaffolds obtained by the combination of biodegradable porous scaffolds and hydroxyapatite with bone regeneration potential are feasible materials for bone tissue engineering. However, most composite scaffolds have been fabricated by complicated procedures or under thermally harsh conditions. We have previously demonstrated that hydroxyapatite coating onto various substrates under a thermally mild condition was achieved by erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er: YAG) pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The purpose of this study was to prepare a polycaprolactone (PCL) porous scaffold coated with the hydroxyapatite by the Er: YAG-PLD method. Hydroxyapatite coating by the Er: YAG-PLD method was confirmed by morphology, crystallographic analysis, and surface chemical characterization studies. When cultured on PCL porous scaffold coated with hydroxyapatite, rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells adhered, spread, and proliferated well. The micro-CT and staining analyses after the implantation of scaffold into the critical-sized calvaria bone defect in rats indicate that PCL porous scaffold coated with hydroxyapatite demonstrates accelerated and widespread bone formation. In conclusion, PCL porous scaffold coated with hydroxyapatite obtained by the Er: YAG-PLD method is a promising material in bone tissue engineering.
