3D bioactive composite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering (2017, background): “Synthetic and natural polymers in general have relatively poor load bearing capacity when used alone, with low elastic moduli compared to metallic and ceramic compounds [190,191].”
Bone tissue engineering: state of the art and future trends. (2004, neutral): “used are poly(-hydroxy acids) [106-129], poly(-caprolactone) [130-135], poly(propylene fumarates) [127,136-144], poly(carbonates) [145-149], poly(phosfazenes) [127,150-152], and poly(anhydrides) [127,153,154].”
Biomimetic materials for tissue engineering. (2008, methodology): “Similarly, we have combined a technique to generate inter-connected spherical pore network [92] with the nano-fiber techniques to fabricate nano-fibrous scaffolds with interconnected spherical macro pores (Figure 2 C&D) [93,94].”
Porous scaffold design for tissue engineering (2005, methodology): “Scaffolds made using traditional polymer-processing techniques, such as porogen leachin”
Nanofibers and their applications in tissue engineering (2006, positive): “The results of all these studies clearly indicate that nanofiber-based scaffolds show excellent potential to be developed for a variety of tissue engineering applications.”
