Assessment of in vitro PLAGA/n-HA Hybrid Scaffold Bioactivity

Abstract

Asher Jordan

The given picture depicts the evaluation of in vitro mineralization of PLAGA/n-HA scaffolds. In the first image, Alizarin red scaffold staining after 28 days of incubation in SBF or DDI water is shown: (a) PLAGA/n-HA in DDI water; (b) PLAGA scaffolding in DDI water; (c) PLAGA/n-HA in SBF; (d) PLAGA scaffolding in SBF. The graph illustrates the quantification, as a result of incubation time, of the calcium deposition from the surrounding SBF (*) signifies a slightly greater deposition of calcium at the same point of time than that of PLAGA scaffolds. (p =0.05).
