Investigation of cell‐free poly lactic acid/nanoclay scaffolds prepared via thermally induced phase separation technique containing hydroxyapatite nanocarriers of erythropoietin for bone tissue engineering applications

The use of cell‐free scaffolds containing bioactive molecules having a controlled released pattern has been proposed as a promising approach in field of tissue engineering. This system would eliminate the challenges associated with cell implantation. For bone tissue engineering, in particular, the environment in favor of both de novo bone formation and vascularization are considered critical approach. Erythropoietin (EPO) has been shown to have...
