title: [Ultrastrtctural observation of bone marrow stromal cells cultured in coralline hydroxyapatite].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe the ultrastructure of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) cultured in coralline hydroxyapatite (CHA) and evaluate their biocompatibility.
  
  
  METHODS
  BMSCs isolated from dogs were cultured with CHA as the scaffold, and the morphologies of the cells were observed with phase-contrast microscope and scanning electron microscope.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  BMSCs grew well with good attachment to the CHA scaffold and performed normal function, demonstrating CHA as one of useful biocarrier materials for bone tissue engineering.
