Nanofibrous polysaccharide hydroxyapatite composites with biocompatibility against human osteoblasts.

Regenerative medicine has a high demand for defined scaffold materials that promote cell growth, stabilize the tissue during maturation and provide a proper three dimensional structure that allows the exchange of nutrients. In many instances nanofiber composites have already shown their potential for such applications. This work elaborates the development of polysaccharide based nanofibers with integrated hydroxyapatite nanoparticles.
