α-hemihydrate calcium sulfate/octacalcium phosphate combined with sodium hyaluronate promotes bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell osteogenesis in vitro and in vivo.

Purpose The aims of this research were to combine α-hemihydrate calcium sulfate/octacalcium phosphate (α-CSH/OCP) with sodium hyaluronate (SH) or SH sulfate (SHS) to determine whether these composites can be used as a new type of bone repair material. This study may provide a theoretical basis and new ideas for the construction of active bone repair materials and their clinical application.
