Abstract

Duck feet collagen (DC) has recently been used as a stable and safe source for tissue engineering. In this study, we have prepared a series of collagen scaffolds by mixing poly(lactic-co-glycolide)(PLGA) solutions with different percentages of collagen extracted from duck feet. Bone marow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) were cultured on the prepared DC/PLGA scaffolds, and their osteogenic effect and bone formation were compared systemically. At 7 days after seeding, osteogenisis was significantly increased on PLGA scaffolds containing upto 80% of DC. However, the alkaline phosphatase activity of DC/PLGA scaffolds decreased gradually after the first week and reached to the basal line after 14 days. This result indicates that DC/PLGA hybrid scaffolds are helpful for initial bone formation and differentiation, and have a positive effect on them.
