Mineralization, degradation and osteogenic property of polylactide multicomponent porous composites for bone repair: In vitro and in vivo study.

Gelatin and hydroxyapatite were assembled into polylactide porous matrix to prepare multicomponent porous composites for bone repair (PLA-gH). PLA-gH possessed a superior ability of mineralization. During simulated body fluids (SBF), the spherical Ca-P depositions on surface of PLA-gH became bulk as Ca/P decreased, while they locally turned into the rod with different variation in Ca/P during SBF containing bovine serum albumin (SBF-BSA), indicating that the mineralization of PLA-gH could be regulated by BSA.
