Article Synopsis
- Bi-phasic calcium phosphates (BCPs) are being researched as materials for bone graft substitutes, and cation-doping might enhance their effectiveness.
- This study fabricated pure and magnesium (Mg) and strontium (Sr) doped BCP scaffolds using advanced techniques, and the results showed that all scaffold types performed similarly in promoting osteoblast cell growth, especially the ones doped with both Mg and Sr.
- The findings revealed that the double doping of Mg and Sr increased the tricalcium phosphate/hydroxyapatite ratio, which may lead to a more effective release of therapeutic ions and better performance for future medical devices.
