Abstract:Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a biomaterial extensively studied in tissue engineering due to its favorable properties. Porosity, biocompatibility, biodegradability and mechanical durability are essential material properties for scaffold use in tissue engineering. This study aims to fabricate porous scaffolds using a moldable and degradable BC-HAp composite for bone tissue engineering. BC was produced by Komagataeibacter sucrofermentans under static culture conditions. The harvested BC membranes were purified and… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
