Key Points

Fabricate a porous chitosan–bacterial cellulose composite scaffold and evaluate its biodegradation, cytocompatibility, and osteogenic differentiation potential for bone tissue engineering applications.
Fabricated chitosan–bacterial cellulose (CS-BC) composite scaffolds using solvent casting/particle leaching with a NaOH/urea solvent and sodium chloride porogens.
Measured scaffold biodegradation in phosphate-buffered saline containing lysozyme.
Cultured pre-osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells on scaffolds to assess attachment via SEM, metabolic activity via MTT assay, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and osteogenic gene expression.
Generated scaffolds featuring interconnected pores between 300 and 500 µm that demonstrated continuous enzymatic degradation in lysozyme solution.
Pre-osteoblastic cells exhibited robust cell attachment, elevated metabolic activity, enhanced ALP activity, and upregulated osteogenic-related gene expression on the composite scaffold.
