“…Bioactive agents such as calcium phosphates and biologically active biomolecules such as bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) [3][4][5] and osteogenic peptide (OP) [6] can be loaded into/onto scaffolds to provide osteoconductivity and osteoinductivity, eliciting desirable cellular responses from seed cells such as osteoprogenitors and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for accelerated bone regeneration. Comparing to dense bone repair biomaterials, porous bone tissue engineering scaffolds mimicking the natural bone ECM can provide better substrates for cell attachment, morphogenesis, proliferation and differentiation and have been fabricated using a variety type of techniques, such as particle/salt leaching [7], gas foaming [8], emulsion freezing/freeze drying [9], phase separation [10] and electrospinning [11]. However, these techniques have challenges in accurately controlling the architecture (porosity, pore size, interconnectivity, shape, etc) and properties (physical and mechanical) of bone scaffolds.…”

“…Its benefits derive from being biodegradable, non-toxic, biocompatible, and bioactive [ 11 , 12 ]. These properties, combined with the advantage of having many functional groups on its backbone (-OH and NH2), have made CS particularly interesting for many applications such as tissue engineering [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 13 , 14 , 15 ], bioremediation [ 16 , 17 , 18 ], agriculture [ 19 ], cosmetics [ 20 ] and as sorbent materials [ 21 , 22 , 23 ] for a wide range of contaminants. CS possesses a suitable reactivity to be modified by chemical or physical processes with the aim of widening its use.…”
