Osteogenesis and angiogenesis induced by porous β-CaSiO3/PDLGA composite scaffold via activation of AMPK/ERK1/2 and PI3K/Akt pathways

As a potential bioactive material, β-calcium silicate (β-CS) has attracted particular attention in the field of bone regeneration. In this study, porous β-CS/Poly-d,l-Lactide-Glycolide (PDLGA) composite scaffolds were developed with the goals of controlling the degradation rate and improving the mechanical and biological properties. The compressive strength and toughness were significantly enhanced by PDLGA modification of porous β-CS ceramic...
