Polycaprolactone (PCL) – tricalcium phosphate (TCP) is an established composite material for bone tissue engineering. However, the effects of TCP inclusion in PCL for cell attachment, viability, proliferation and differentiation have not been defined. In this study, PCL and PCL - TCP scaffolds are s...
