제목 Reconstruction of a rabbit ulna bone defect using a PLA/β-TCP composite by a novel sintering method
초록 Bioceramic and polymers have been used as matrices for bone tissue engineering, and successful bone regeneration depends on cellular interaction with these matrices. The aim of this study was to fabricate polylactide (PLA)/b-tricalcium phosphate (b-TCP) composites with a novel sintering method. We prepared the composite by pressing and thermal treatment of the mixture of PLA, b-TCP after which we seeded bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and either cultured them in vitro or subcutaneously implanted them into nude mice. The BMSCs more effectively formed bone-like structures on the PLA/b-TCP composites compared to PLA scaffolds. Also, we confirmed enhanced bone regeneration in the rabbit defect model using representative radiography and histological studies. This study revealed that generating osteoinductive PLA/b-TCP composites with novel sintering method could significantly enhance bone regeneration and be useful for bone tissue engineering.
