Analyzing Biomaterials by Nanofocus Computed Tomography

3D biomaterials are known to function as alternative bone grafts. In the area of Tissue Engineering (TE) 3D matrices are often used in combination with mesenchymal stem cells to build up a functional tissue graft. In this approach the selection of a matrix is a crucial factor. For bone TE applications the matrix should fulfill the following geometrical properties. more
