Osteoconductive scaffolds obtained by means of in situ surface functionalization of wet-spun fibre meshes for bone regeneration applications

[Excerpt] The success of bone tissue engineering (TE) strategies is strongly dependent on the development of new synthetic materials combining osteoconductive, osteoinductive and osteogenic properties. Recent studies suggest that biomaterials incorporating silanol groups promote and maintain osteoge...
