MG-63 cells proliferation following various types of mechanical stimulation on cells by auxetic hybrid scaffolds

Mechanical properties and cyto-compatibility of a composite scaffold which possessed negative (-) Poisson's ratio (NPR) was investigated for effective load transfer from auxetic scaffold to cell.Organic/inorganic composite scaffolds were prepared by mixing hydroxyapatite (HA) to poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA). To induce NPR in composite scaffold, 3-directional volumetric compression was applied during the scaffold fabrication at adequate...
