Background:

Optimizing calcium phosphate cement (CPC) scaffold design is essential for enhancing nutrient and cell transfer.
Incorporating a channel network with appropriate diameters is key to improving scaffold functionality.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the impact of central channel diameter on cell migration and adhesion within CPC scaffolds.
To determine the minimum channel diameter required for effective cell infiltration and coverage.

Main Methods:

Fabrication of CPC scaffolds with a single central channel using stereolithography rapid prototyping (RP).
Varying central channel diameters from 402 microm to 1988 microm.
Seeding scaffolds with rabbit marrow stem cells (MSCs) and culturing for 5 days to assess cell coverage.

Main Results:

Cell coverage on the channel walls ranged from approximately 18% (1988 microm) to 35% (592 microm).
Significant increase in cell coverage observed from day 1 to day 5.
Cell area coverage increased linearly with channel diameter up to approximately 789 microm, then increased more slowly.

Conclusions:

A minimum channel diameter of approximately 72 microm is suggested for cell migration and adhesion on CPC scaffolds.
These findings provide valuable insights for designing optimal CPC scaffolds with 3D channel networks for tissue regeneration.
