Combinatorial effect of silicon and calcium release from starch-based scaffolds on osteogenic differentiation of human adipose stem cells

Instructive materials able to drive cells, in particular the differentiation of stem cells toward osteoblastic lineages, have been investigated as a promising strategy for bone tissue engineering. Inorganic ions, such as phosphorus, calcium, silicon, and strontium, have been used in bone regeneratio...
