An illustration of the human bone–scaffold interface indicating the differences in HA crystal orientation visible with electron tomography. Crystals in the bone are oriented with their long axis (c-axis) parallel to the scaffold surface, while crystals in the interfacial apatite layer have their c-axis oriented perpendicular to the scaffold surface.
