Development of fully-resorption replacement paste-like organic/inorganic artificial bones compatible with bone remodeling cycles by Yuki Kamaya, Shiori Kato, Kazuaki Nakano, Masaki Nagaya, Hiroshi Nagashima, Mamoru Aizawa

“…In a pig tibia model, the amount of PLGA particle of 5 mass%, 10 mass%, and 20 mass% were tested to optimize material resorption and bone formation, compared with commercial HAp-based CPCs. Histological evaluations showed that higher amount of PLGA particles (10 mass% and 20 mass%) led to increased material resorption but impaired bone formation. …”
