In-vivo demonstration of the suitability of piezoelectric stimuli for bone reparation

he potential of piezoelectric biomaterials for bone tissue engineering is demonstrated. This work proves that the use of piezoelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), able to provide electrical stimuli upon mechanical solicitation to the growing cells, enhances bone regeneration in vivo. Poled and...
