Cryogel biocomposite containing chitosan-gelatin/cerium-zinc doped hydroxyapatite for bone tissue engineering

The present examination includes manufacture and portrayal of cryogel bio-composite implants containing chitosan-gelatin (CS-GT), cerium-zinc doped hydroxyapatite (CS-GT/Ce-Zn-HA) by cryogelation technique. The prepared cryogel biocomposites (CS-GT/HA and CS-GT/Ce-Zn-HA) were described by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-Ray diffraction (XRD) contemplates. The expansion of Ce-Zn in the CS-GT implants essentially expanded growing, diminished swelling, expanded protein sorption, and expanded bactericidal movement. The CS-GT/Ce-Zn-HA biocomposite had non-toxic towards rodent osteoblast cells. So the created CS-GT/Ce-Zn-HA biocomposite has favorable and potential applications over the CS-GT/HA platforms for bone tissue engineering. (C) 2020 The Authors.
