Development of novel collagen scaffolds with different bioceramic particles for bone tissue engineering

Porous scaffolds comprising natural polymers and bioceramic particles have recently been used in tissue engineering. Collagen is one such natural polymer providing favorable biological conditions; for example, it stimulates the generation and differentiation of cells as an extracellular matrix. α-Tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) have also been widely used in bone tissue engineering owing to their favorable...
