TECHNOLOGY SUMMARY

We develop Biomimicking Photocrosslinkable Nanocomposite Bone Grafts, which mirror the structure of natural bone and are fabricated under simple conditions. The bone grafts can load and release bioactive molecules, activate cell signaling pathways to simultaneously promote osteogenesis and angiogenesis, while providing optimal mechanical support to the injured area, expediting the bone healing process.
