This study details the novel self-assembly of sodium titanate converted Ti-based microspheres into hierarchical porous 3D constructs, with macro-, micro-, and nanoporosity, for the first time. Ti6Al4V microspheres were suspended into 5 M NaOH (60 °C/...

Journal Article
Cowie, R. M., Macri-Pellizzeri, L., McLaren, J., Sanderson, W. J., Felfel, R. M., Scotchford, C. A., …Jennings, L. M. (2024). Functional performance of a bi-layered chitosan-nano-hydroxyapatite osteochondral scaffold: a pre-clinical in vitro tribological study. Royal Society Open Science, 11(1), Article 230431. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.230431

Osteochondral grafts are used for repair of focal osteochondral lesions. Autologous grafts are the gold standard treatment; however, limited graft availability and donor site morbidity restrict use. Therefore, there is a clinical need for different g...
