| General description: | Lot specific orders are not able to be placed through the web. Contact your local sales rep for more details. ROb from Cell Applications, Inc. have been used to evaluate a novel hydroxyapatite (HAp)/poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) nanocomposite nonwoven fabric, coated with calcined HAp nanocrystals as a material for bone regeneration and demonstrated better spreading on the nanocrystal-coated vs. uncoated surface (Yanagida, 2011). Characterization: Positive for bone mineralization. |
