Bioactive starch-based scaffolds and human adipose stem cells are a good combination for bone tissue engineering

Silicon is known to have an influence on calcium phosphate deposition and on the differentiation of bone precursor cells. This study explores the effect of the incorporation of silanol (Si–OH) groups into poly- meric scaffolds on the osteogenic differentiation of human adipose stem cells (hASC) cult...
