Bone scaffolds play an important role in promoting the healing of large bone defects. However, type scaffold material, drug loaded into scaffold, and method preparation have a significant impact on scaffold's properties. In this study, we developed composite comprising sodium alginate (SA), chitosan (CS), hydroxyapatite (HA). The stent carries vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), wrapped ...
