This study aimed to synthesize bioactive glass (BG) and phosphorylated chitosan (PCS), and fabricate a BG/PCS composite scaffold. The physical properties (mechanical strength, swelling degree, and degradation rate) of the BG/PCS scaffold were tested. Themineralization properties of composite scaffolds in simulated body fluid were investigated. MC3T3-E1 cell responses with the BG/PCS scaffold were investigated using live/dead cell staining, actin staining, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and Alizarin red staining. Our results showed that the scaffold had an inner porous structure, good swelling properties, and good degradation rate. After immersion in SBF, the scaffolds demonstrated high properties in inducing mineralization. Leaching solutions of the composite scaffolds exhibited good cytocompatibility. MC3T3-E1 cells adhered, spread, and proliferated on the scaffold. The BG/PCS composite scaffold showed osteo-inductive activity by increasing ALP activity and calcium deposition. Our results indicated that the BG/PCS scaffold had potential applications as a bone-defect repair biomaterial.

Purpose: The study conducts a comparative analysis between two prominent methods for fabricating composites for bone scaffolds-the (solid) solvent method and the solvent-free (melting) method. While previous research has explored these methods individually, this study provides a direct comparison of their outcomes in terms of physicochemical properties, cytocompatibility, and mechanical strength. We also analyse their workflow and scalability potentials.

In recent years, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising materials for biomedical applications, owing to their superior chemical versatility, unique textural properties and enhanced mechanical properties. However, their fast and uncontrolled degradation, together with the reduced bioactivity have restricted their clinical potential. To overcome these limitations, MOFs can be synergistically combined with other materials, such as bioactive glasses (BGs), known for their bioactivity and therapeutic ion releasing capabilities.

Achieving microecological balance is a complex environmental challenge. This is because the equilibrium of microecological systems necessitates both the eradication of harmful microorganisms and preservation of the beneficial ones. Conventional materials predominantly target the elimination of pathogenic microorganisms and often neglect the protection of advantageous microbial species.

In bone tissue engineering, a suitable scaffold is the key. Due to their similar composition to bone tissue, special structure, good mechanical properties, and osteogenic properties, acellular fish scale scaffolds are potential scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. At present, the fish scale decellularization scheme mostly uses a combination of sodium dodecyl sulfate and ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), but this method has problems.
