A new scaffold design was introduced with macro-pores and micro-channels, which greatly assisted in the initial bone marrow absorption and uniform cell distribution. Unfortunately, the underlying scientific reasons for the new scaffold׳s efficiency are currently unknown. Hence, we approached using a...
