The healing of bone defects by cell-free and stem cell-seeded 3D-printed PLA tissue-engineered scaffolds
Abstract In this paper, the in-vivo healing of critical-sized bony defects by cell-free and stem cell-seeded 3D-printed PLA scaffolds was studied in rat calvaria bone. The scaffolds were implanted in the provided defect sites and histological analysis was conducted after 8 and 12 weeks. The results...
