Abstract :
This study was designed to investigate whether octacalcium phosphate (OCP) in alginate (Alg) composite promotes osteoblastic differentiation of mouse bone marrow stromal ST-2 cells and composite releases the cells outside after incubation. The results suggested that Alg/OCP composite could be a good device for bone tissue engineering.
