Mineralization and antibacterial potential of bioactive cryogel scaffolds in vitro

Cryogels are unique tissue-engineered constructs possessing a macroporous, sponge-like, and mechanically durable structure. Chitosa`n-gelatin cryogels have previously been incorporated with hydroxyapatite, as well as antibacterial Manuka honey. In this study, cryogels were incorporated with both additives simultaneously to assess the mineralization and antibacterial potential, in vitro. The cryogels were characterized to determine both the...
