The effect of starch and starch-bioactive glass composite microparticles on the adhesion and expression of the osteoblastic phenotype of a bone cell line.

Abstract excerpt

There is a clear need for the development of microparticles that can be used simultaneously as carriers of stem/progenitor cells and as release systems for bioactive agents, such as growth factors or differentiation agents. In addition, when thinking on bone-tissue-engineering applications, it would be very useful if these microparticles are biodegradable and could be made to be bioactive. Microparticles with all...
