Article Synopsis
- Three-dimensional (3D) printing is being used to create bone tissue scaffolds, with coral being explored as a potential material but facing natural sourcing challenges.
- A new method was developed to print calcium carbonate (CaCO) nanoparticles as a substitute for coral, achieving high-resolution prints while using poly-l-lactide as a binder.
- The scaffolds undergo a hydrothermal process to enhance biocompatibility, resulting in calcium carbonate structures coated with hydroxyapatite (HA), which have shown to effectively promote bone cell growth and support bone regeneration.
