Preparation of chitosan scaffolds loaded with dexamethasone for tissue engineering applications using supercritical fluid technology

Supercritical fluid impregnation was tested to prepare a new scaffold loaded with a bioactive compound. Dexamethasone is used in osteogenic media to direct the differentiation of stem cells towards the osteogenic lineage. Dexamethasone was impregnated in chitosan scaffolds at different operating con...
