Dual-functional β-TCP based injectable bone grafts functionalized with peptides for enhanced osteogenesis and broad-spectrum biofilm inhibition

Key Points

• Enhanced osteogenesis was observed with β-TCP functionalized grafts, indicating improved bone formation.
• The study reports broad-spectrum biofilm inhibition, showing effectiveness against various bacterial strains.
• Analysis incorporated injectable bone grafts containing peptides, facilitating dual-functionality for clinical applications.
• These findings suggest utility in orthopedic procedures, although further clinical validation is necessary.
