Repair of Osteoporotic Bone Defects Using Adipose-Derived Stromal Cells and Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells Seeded in Chitosan/Nanohydroxyapatite-P24 Nanocomposite Scaffolds

Background. The cell regeneration and blood supply of bone defect lesions are restricted under osteoporotic pathological conditions, which make the healing of bone defect of osteoporosis still a great challenge. The current therapeutic strategies that mainly inhibit bone resorption are not always satisfactory for osteoporotic bone defects, which make the development of new therapies an urgent need. Methods.
