“…Most commonly, several of these biomaterials are integrated into a single OCTE strategy, so as to combine their physicochemical properties and attain a more robust construct capable of mimicking both AC and SB layers. Blends of chitosan-alginate [ 95 , 97 , 98 ], chitosan-silk fibroin [ 99 , 100 ], and alginate-hyaluronan [ 101 , 102 , 103 ], for example, have been used for the fabrication of OC scaffolds. In several reports, these organic polymers were further combined with ceramics like β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) [ 97 ], polyphosphate [ 98 ], hydroxyapatite [ 99 , 100 , 102 , 103 , 104 ] or bioglass [ 105 ], thereby resembling the inorganic phase present in SB.…”
