Creation of Ovalbumin Based Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Regeneration
Bio-based materials are a viable alternative to synthetic materials for tissue engineering. Although many bio-based materials have been used, Ovalbumin (OA) has not yet been researched to create 3D structures that promote cellular responses. Micro-porous scaffolds are a promising construct for bone …
