Development of High-Performance Chitosan-Silk Fibroin Hydrogels in Bone Repair: Mechanical and Biological Enhancements.
Bone tissue engineering has attracted increasing interest, with natural polymers being explored for bone repair. However, most natural polymers lack sufficient mechanical strength for clinical application. In this study, methacrylated chitosan (CSMA) and silk fibroin (SF) were utilized as matrix components to develop a...
