Abstract
Porous, 30 chitosan/biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) scaffolds were used to prepare tissue engineering constructs for maxillofacial bone tissue reconstruction. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC's) were seeded and cultured on clinically relevant sized scaffolds. In vitro engineered constructs facilitated the healing of mandibular defects in pigs if accompanied with delivery of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF).
