Evaluating osteogenic potential of a 3D-printed bioceramic-based scaffold for critical-sized defect treatment: an in vivo and in vitro investigation
The integration of precision medicine principles into bone tissue engineering has ignited a wave of research focused on customizing intricate scaffolds through advanced 3D printing techniques. Bioceramics, known for their exceptional biocompatibility and osteoconductivity, have emerged as a promising material in this field. This article aims to evaluate the regenerative capabilities of a composite scaffold composed of 3D-printed gelatin combined with hydroxyapatite/tricalcium phosphate bioceramics (G/HA/TCP), incorporating human dental pulp–derived stem cells (hDPSCs). Using 3D powder printing, we created cross-shaped biphasic calcium phosphate scaffolds with a gelatin layer. The bone-regenerating potential of these scaffolds, along with hDPSCs, was assessed through in…
