Notes:
In this study, the addition of calcium phosphate powders to an alginate matrix wasevaluated as a strategy to modulate enzyme release-kinetics from alginate microspheres and, simultaneously, to improve cell adhesion to the polymer. Pre-adsorption of the enzyme to the ceramic powders resulted in a more adequate release pattern. The ratio of ceramic-to-polymer had a pronounced effect on osteoblast adhesion to microspheres. Cells were only able to spread onmicrospheres with the highest percentage of ceramic (0.4 w/w using a 1.5% w/v alginate solution)
