Supramolecular Biopolymers for Tissue Engineering

Figure 7

SEM images of electrospun nanofibers of (a) collagen/HA and (b) collagen/oHA. Inorganic particles mineralize within the nanofibers, promoted by the presence of oHA. The pattern of mineralization gave rise to a change in pore size which, in turn, enhances cell migration and proliferation within the voids.
