  • Characterization of scaffold properties including pore structure, connectivity, mechanical strength, and shape memory performance.
  • In vitro assessment of mineralization activity and cell biocompatibility.
  • In vivo evaluation of bone regeneration in critical size cranial defects.

Main Results:

  • Scaffolds exhibited programmable pore structures, high connectivity, and tunable mechanical properties.
  • Excellent shape memory performance was observed.
  • Enhanced hydroxyapatite formation and good in vitro biocompatibility were confirmed.
  • In vivo studies demonstrated significant promotion of new bone formation in cranial defects.

Conclusions:

  • The developed hydroxyapatite/shape-memory composite scaffolds show promise for bone regeneration.
  • Programmable porous structures and shape memory properties offer advantages for orthopedic applications.
  • These biomaterials effectively promote new bone formation in critical size defects.
