The results indicate that the m-BPC scaffold contained open and interconnected macropores ranging 400¨C500 ¦Ìm, and exhibited a porosity of 76%. The attachment ratio of MG-63 cells on m-BPC was higher than polyamide scaffolds at 4 hours, and the cells with normal phenotype extended well when cultured with m-BPC and polyamide scaffolds. When the m-BPC scaffolds were implanted into bone defects of rabbit thighbone, histological evaluation confirmed that the m-BPC scaffolds exhibited excellent biocompatibility and osteoconductivity, and more effective osteogenesis than the polyamide scaffolds in vivo. The results indicate that the m-BPC scaffolds improved the efficiency of new bone regeneration and, thus, have clinical potential for bone repair. %K mesoporous bioglass %K polyamide %K composite scaffolds %K biocompatibility %K bone repair %U https://www.dovepress.com/composite-scaffolds-of-mesoporous-bioactive-glass-and-polyamide-for-bo-peer-reviewed-article-IJN
