Direct-write assembly of 3D silk/hydroxyapatite scaffolds for bone co-cultures.

ABSTRACT: 3D silk/HA microperiodic scaffolds for bone tissue engineering and angiogenesis are fabricated by direct-write assembly. This approach can be used to control filament and spacing size in the scaffold to allow investigation of the effect of scaffold architecture on osteogenesis and vessel-like structure formation from stem cells and endothelial cells.
