Nacre, exhibiting excellent mechanical strengths due to its hierarchical structures, becomes
a potential model to design bone implants. Herein, we firstly fabricated nacre-mimetic …

Porous scaffolds fabricated with nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) and chitosan (CTS), are widely
used in bone tissue engineering (BTE). However, cell adhesion is relatively poor in …

Advancements in bone tissue engineering require the improvement of tissue scaffolds,
which should not only exhibit suitable mechanical properties and highly porous structures …

Fabrication of reinforced scaffolds for bone regeneration remains a significant challenge.
The weak mechanical properties of the chitosan (CS)-based composite scaffold hindered its …

During the biomineralization process of bone minerals, amorphous calcium phosphate
(ACP) is converted to apatite crystals by using octacalcium phosphate (OCP) and brushite …

Inspired by the nanostructure of bone, biomimetic nanocomposites comprising natural
polymers and inorganic nanoparticles have gained much attention for bone regenerative …

Abstract Nano-hydroxyapatite/chitosan–pectin (nHCP) composite was prepared via
mineralization of a chitosan–pectin network. Then nHCP/chitosan–gelatin (nHCP/CG) …

It is an effective way in bone tissue engineering to promote the mechanical and osteogenic
capability of hydrogels by encapsulating mineral particles into polymer matrix. In this work …

Active interventions should be made to avoid delayed bone union and nonunion during
fracture treatment. Nanohydroxyapatite/polyamide 66 (nHA/PA66), a simulated bioactive …

Scaffolds derived from naturally occurring polysaccharides have attracted significant interest
in bone tissue engineering due to their excellent biocompatibility and hydrophilic nature …
