Smart bio-piezoelectric scaffolds printed in 3D or 4D could be a promising alternative to next-generation bone tissue engineering. Annan Chen, Jin Su, Yinjin Li, Haibo Zhang, Yusheng Shi, Chunze Yan, and Jian Lu are all acknowledged.
It is well known that piezoelectricity is a crucial component of bone regeneration. However, the crucial electrical microenvironment( EM ) in bone regeneration is disregarded in favor of the current additive-made scaffolds, which primarily concentrate on the reconstruction of bionic topological structure and mechanical microenvironnement.
The study, which was published in the International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, demonstrates the enormous potential of bio-piezoelectric scaffolds printed in 3D or 4D for next-generation bone tissue engineering.
