Biodegradable scaffolds have played an important role in a number of tissue engineering
attempts over the past decade. The goal of this review article is to provide a brief overview of …

Repair of fractures involves a sequence of dynamic events which ultimately restores the
integrity of the bone and its biomechanical properties. 1 In some cases healing is …

Engineering new bone tissue with cells and a synthetic extracellular matrix (scaffolding)
represents a new approach for the regeneration of mineralized tissues compared with the …

Biodegradable polymer/hydroxyapatite (HA) composites have potential application as bone
graft substitutes. Thin films of polymer/HA composites were produced, and the initial …

Biodegradable poly (lactide-co-glycolide)(PLGA) microspheres have a proven track record
for drug delivery and are suggested to be ideal carrier systems to target therapeutics into …

This paper describes an extensive biocompatibility evaluation of biodegradable starch-
based materials aimed at orthopaedic applications as temporary bone replacement/fixation …

The objective of the study was to investigate the potential in-vitro and in-vivo myotoxicity of
different in-situ forming biodegradable drug delivery systems, namely in-situ Microparticle …

Although highly desirable, functional restoration of diseased and damaged human articular
cartilage continues to remain one of the most challenging orthopaedic problems. The clinical …

Osteocompatibility of porous polylactic‐glycolic acid (PLGA) disks coated with synthetic
peptides was assessed in 5‐mm diameter unicortical tibial osseous wounds in rats. The …

Future surgical strategies to restore neurological function in peripheral nerve loss may
involve replacement of nerve tissue with cultured Schwann cells using biodegradable …
