3 Marine-derived biomaterials for bone tissue engineering 

Yoshikawa and Myoui (2005) reported interconnected porous HA fabricated via a process called form-jel, a technique which creates a scaffold with an excellent vascular network ample for blood supply, an aspect of bone regeneration. It serves as a good scaffold for the delivery of cytokines, which enhance bone tissue formation in defect sites. The use of poly(L-lactic acid)/HA composite scaffold for bone tissue engineering synthesized via a thermally induced phase separation technique records a
