Abstract
Carbonate apatite (CO3Ap), an inorganic component of human bone, has been clinically applied as an artificial bone substitute. In this study, the effects of the CO3 content in CO3Ap on the replacement by new bone were studied by fabricating CO3Ap granules containing 0.9–8.3 wt% of CO3. The dissolution rate of CO3Ap in a weak acidic solution, mimicking the Howship's lacunae, was rapid for the CO3Ap granules containing a larger amount of CO3. Histological analyses demonstrated the rapid resorption in CO3Ap and replacement by natural bone tissue when the CO3 content was increased. Therefore, the CO3 content in CO3Ap is a key factor that influences the replacement of the bone tissue.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine publishes rapidly and rigorously peer-reviewed research papers, reviews, clinical case reports, perspectives, and short communications on topics relevant to the development of therapeutic approaches which combine stem or progenitor cells, biomaterials and scaffolds, growth factors and other bioactive agents, and their respective constructs. All papers should deal with research that has a direct or potential impact on the development of novel clinical approaches for the regeneration or repair of tissues and organs.
The journal is multidisciplinary, covering the combination of the principles of life sciences and engineering in efforts to advance medicine and clinical strategies. The journal focuses on the use of cells, materials, and biochemical/mechanical factors in the development of biological functional substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve tissue or organ function. The journal publishes research on any tissue or organ and covers all key aspects of the field, including the development of new biomaterials and processing of scaffolds; the use of different types of cells (mainly stem and progenitor cells) and their culture in specific bioreactors; studies in relevant animal models; and clinical trials in human patients performed under strict regulatory and ethical frameworks. Manuscripts describing the use of advanced methods for the characterization of engineered tissues are also of special interest to the journal readership.
