A rabbit laminectomy model was used to evaluate the efficacy of artificial laminae of vertebral arch using bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) transplanted in porous beta-calcium phosphates (β-TCP) bioceramics. ⋯ β-TCP bioceramics seeded with MSCs are a promising source of tissue-engineered bone for the artificial lamina of the vertebral arch.
