Encapsulation of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Phosphate Mineralized Alginate Beads

Alginate scaffolds show good promise for bone tissue engineering using stem cells. This is due to the fact that alginate is biocompatible, non-immunogenic, and in addition may direct differentiation of stem cells into a given phenotype. Finally, due to their ability to gel at physiological condition...
