<p>A novel composite scaffold of Cu-doped nano calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite/multi-(amino acid) copolymer for bone tissue regeneration</p>

Background and methods: A Cu-doped composite scaffold of nano calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (n-CDHA)/multi(amino acid) copolymer (MAC) was prepared. The structure, porosity, morphology and compressive strength of the scaffolds were characterized, the in vitro degradability in phosphate-buffered solution (PBS) and cell responses to the scaffolds were investigated, and in vivo stimulation of bone formation were analyzed. Results: The scaffolds...
