PDLLA enriched with ulvan particles as a novel 3D porous scaffold targeted for bone engineering

A marine derived polysaccharide, ulvan, extracted from green algae, was combined with poly-d, llactic acid (PDLLA) in order to produce a novel scaffold for bone tissue engineering applications. Three dimensional (3D) scaffolds of PDLLA loaded with ulvan particles were originally prepared by subcriti...
