| Research Abstract |
We have fabricated highly interconnecting, macropouros hybrid scaffolds of poly (lactide-co-glycolide)(PLGA) and apatite cement (AC). The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of bFGF on bone regeneration within PLGA-AC scaffold. PLGA-AC scaffolds with bFGF (PLAC-F) were implanted into the drill hole defects of 4 mm in diameter were made in the tibiae of rabbits. After 6 weeks, PLAC-F scaffolds were significantly infiltrated with new more bone tissue in the medullary region. These findings demonstrate that PLAC scaffold incorporated with bFGF has a great advantage for bone tissue engineering.
