Resumen:
A suitable biomaterial for scaffolds for bone tissue engineering (BTE) should have nanofeatures that resemble the extracellular bone matrix. In addition, metallic ions as therapeutic agents have been incorporated into scaffolds and dissolution products from biomaterials produce different intra- and extracellular responses that play a role in bone formation. Particularly, Ca2+ is involved in the formation and mineralization of bone and it is present in most of biomaterials for BTE. The aim of this work was to develop a new nanocomposite biomaterial made of alginate with bioactive glass nanoparticles (nBG) and Ca2+ incorporated for BTE applications.
