Synthetic polymers have been an integral part of modern society since the early 1960s.
Besides their most well-known applications to the public, such as packaging, construction …

Bone tissue engineering commonly encompasses the use of three-dimensional (3D)
scaffolds to provide a suitable microenvironment for the propagation of cells to regenerate …

Scaffolds for bone tissue engineering should have sufficient mechanical properties
comparable with those of the surrounding native bone tissue. Therefore, it is necessary to …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) developed by microorganisms is considered one of the most
critical public health issues worldwide. This problem is affecting the lives of millions of …

In clinical conditions, the reconstructions performed in the complex and three-dimensional
bone defects in the craniomaxillofacial (CMF) area are often limited in facial esthetics and …

In the polycaprolactone/hydroxyapatite scaffold fabricated by the melting-extrusion-type 3D-
printing system, hydroxyapatite (bioceramic) particles are usually covered by a thin-film …

The osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH), a common refractory disease, is still not fully
understood today. Hypoxia caused by ischemia is not only an important pathogenic factor …

In the 3D-printed polycaprolactone/hydroxyapatite composite scaffold, hydroxyapatite
particles are usually covered by a thin-film of polycaprolactone because of the rheological …

Although attempts to improve tissue-engineering scaffolds have been made using
composite materials (synthetic polymers, bioceramics, etc.), research on bone tissue …

In this study, we investigated the dual-pore kagome-structure design of a 3D-printed scaffold
with enhanced in vitro cell response and compared the mechanical properties with 3D …
