Comparative study of gelatin cryogels reinforced with hydroxyapatites with different morphologies and interfacial bonding

Gelatin cryogels are good candidate scaffolds for tissue engineering because of their interconnected macroporous structure. For bone regeneration, inorganic components are chosen to reinforce gelatin cryogels: (i) to mimic the compositions of natural bone tissue and (ii) to meet the mechanical requirements of bone repairing. Cryogels were prepared from methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) in this study, and hydroxyapatite nanorods (HANRs) with...
