Article Synopsis
- One-dimensional nanostructures like silver nanowires (AgNWs) are gaining interest for their unique electrical, thermal, and antimicrobial properties, but their use in preventing infections during bone regeneration hasn't been studied yet.
- The researchers created a new scaffold from chitosan, hydroxyapatite, and AgNWs, which demonstrated excellent antibacterial effects against various bacteria, biocompatibility that promotes cell growth, and maintained important mechanical and biological properties.
- The results suggest that this innovative composite scaffold shows promise for use in bone regenerative medicine by combining mechanical strength, bioactivity, and infection prevention, warranting further exploration for clinical applications.
