Abstract
Quercetin (Qu), a bioflavonoid, has been reported to positively affect bone metabolism. For the first time, Qu with different concentrations was utilized to functionalize 3D-printed poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) scaffold with the aid of a polydopamine (PDA) layer through a convenient and effective way in this study. Results revealed that the coexistence of PDA and Qu can capacitate the 3D-printed PLLA scaffold to possess rougher surface, as well as...
