Calcium-containing scaffolds induce bone regeneration by regulating mesenchymal stem cell differentiation and migration

Abstract Background Osteoinduction and subsequent bone formation rely on efficient mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) recruitment. It is also known that migration is induced by gradients of growth factors and cytokines. Degradation of Ca2+-containing biomaterials mimics the bone remodeling compartment prod...
