[Hydrodynamic finite element analysis of biological scaffolds with different pore sizes for cell growth and osteogenic differentiation].

The uniform stress distributions appeared in all gyroid scaffold types under compressive stress. The permeabilities of scaffolds with pore sizes of 600 and 800 μm were significantly higher than the 400 μm. The average wall shear stress in the scaffold of 600 μm was the lowest, and the scaffold surface area proportion for cell growth and osteogenic differentiation the largest, indicating that it might be the most favorable design for supporting these cellular activities.
