Overview

Composite hydrogels improved mechanical strength by 15–25% and mineralization in bone scaffolds, suggesting viability for tissue engineering.

Key Points

  • Calcium phosphate incorporation enhanced mechanical stability and allowed scaffolds to better support bone regeneration.
  • Mechanical strength increased by 15–25% in scaffolds with calcium phosphates compared to controls, emphasizing their effectiveness.
  • 3D-printed scaffolds were evaluated based on morphology, porosity, and cytocompatibility, ensuring broader application in clinical settings.
  • Results indicate these customizable hydrogels could be viable alternatives to traditional bone grafts, warranting further exploration.
