Biodegradable poly (D,L-Lactide) and 45S5 Bioglass scaffolds for in vitro tissue-engineered annulus fibrosus

The origin of lower back pain is often damage to intervertebral discs (IVO) due to factors such as injury, poor disc nutrition, aging and vascular ingrowth. With a view to the repair of damaged annulus fibrosus (AF) of the lumbar IVD, the present study proposed the use of poly(O,L- lactide) POLLA wi...
