Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is biomaterial widely used in the regeneration of bone tissue.
Addition of osteogenic cells to HAp implants may accelerate the bone repair process. The aim of
this study was to investigate how the bone marrow cells (BMCs) loading of porous
hydroxyapatite/poly-L-lactide (HAp/PLLA) act to ectopic osteogenesis. In this purpose
HAp/PLLA with and without BMCs was subcutaneously implanted into BALB/c mice. As a
control served implants from both types which weren’t implanted. Three weeks after
implantation, histological analysis of implants was done. It was observed significant resorption
and induction of collagenogenesis in implanted biomaterials. The structure of new bone was
seen in implants loaded with bone marrow cells.
