Porous three-dimensional hydroxyapatite (HA) scaffolds were prepared using bovine cortical bone derived HA (BDHA). Analyses of the morphology, chemical composition, and phase purity of the scaffold were performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), micro-computer tomography (micro-CT), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). SEM images revealed the rough and porous surface of the scaffold, while micro-CT showed the average porous volume of 76.7±0.6% and pore size of 0.04–0.25 mm. Single phase corresponding to standard HA was observed using XRD, and FTIR confirmed the presence of functional groups similar to HA. The EDX analysis …

This study was conducted to develop a technique for minimally invasive and accurate delivery of stem cells to augment nucleus pulposus (NP) in damaged intervertebral discs (IVD). IVD damage was created in noncontiguous discs at L4-L5 level; rabbits (N = 12) were randomly divided into three groups: group I treated with MSCs in HyStem hydrogel, group II treated with HyStem alone, and group III received no intervention. MSCs and hydrogel were administered to the damaged disc under guidance of fluoroscopy. Augmentation of NP was assessed through histological and MRI T2 mapping of the NP after eight weeks of transplantation. T2 …
