Abstract
⺠RGD-conjugated, UV-crosslinked chitosan scaffolds were fabricated. ⺠Mesenchymal stem cells were seeded in the chitosan scaffolds. ⺠RGD-incorporation increased cell adhesion and proliferation significantly. ⺠Calcium deposition was enhanced in the RGD-conjugated scaffolds. ⺠RGD-conjugated chitosan scaffolds possess potential in bone tissue engineering.
