Degradation of 3D-Printed Porous Polylactic Acid Scaffolds Under Mechanical Stimulus

Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable polymer commonly used as a scaffold material to repair tissue defects, and its degradation is associated with mechanical stimulus. In this study, the effect of mechanical stimulus on the degradation of 3D-printed PLA scaffolds was investigated by in vitro exp...
