Increased stem cells delivered using a silk gel/scaffold complex for enhanced bone regeneration

Abstract The low in vivo survival rate of scaffold-seeded cells is still a challenge in stem cell-based bone regeneration. This study seeks to use a silk hydrogel to deliver more stem cells into a bone defect area and prolong the viability of these cells after implantation. Rat bone marrow stem cell...
