Cell Viability of Porous Poly(d,l-lactic acid)/Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotubes/Nanohydroxyapatite Scaffolds for Osteochondral Tissue Engineering

Cell Viability of Porous Poly(d,l-lactic acid)/Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotubes/Nanohydroxyapatite Scaffolds for Osteochondral Tissue Engineering

Treatment of articular cartilage lesions remains an important challenge. Frequently the bone located below the cartilage is also damaged, resulting in defects known as osteochondral lesions. Tissue engineering has emerged as a potential approach to treat cartilage and osteochondral defects. The prin...
