Repairing critical-sized rat calvarial defects with progenitor cell-seeded acellular periosteum: A novel biomimetic scaffold

Acellular allo-periosteum is a biomimetic scaffold that permits pleuripotent cell adherence, migration, and proliferation in vitro. The combination of acellular periosteum, xenograft bone, stem cells, and growth factors may prove a viable combination for cranial bone tissue engineering.
