Abstract

Complete characterization of scaffold structure and properties is essentially the first step in the process of developing successful bone engineering scaffolds. Numerous studies demonstrate that pore size, interconnectivity and porosity affect bone tissue regeneration, and these three design features appear to be the most important structural variables in an initial scaffold screening. Clearly, besides scaffold morphology and mechanical and surface properties, biological characterization of scaffolds by suitable cell culture methods is also required
