Abstract

The early stages (2 to 4 weeks) of mineral deposition by osteoblasts cultured on porous polylactic acid (PLA) scaffolds are studied. Osteoblast morphology, the structure of the extracellular matrix, and the chemical composition of the mineral deposits are examined by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy and linear particle accelerator techniques. The study shows the feasibility of using PLA as a scaffold on which cultured osteoblasts can grow and mineralize.
