P8. Electrospun synthetic bone grafts promote mesenchymal stem cell function and spinal fusion

Synthetic bone grafts are being developed to lessen the need for autograft and allograft. Electrospun bone grafts (ESBG) have a highly porous nanofibrous structure with a large surface area-to-volume ratio, potentially improving its osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties.
