3D printed bioceramic scaffolds with fully interconnected channel networks for enhanced vascularized bone regeneration

evaluations revealed that the interconnected channel system significantly enhanced mass transport efficiency and cellular infiltration, leading to superior bone tissue ingrowth and vascularization compared to both non-channeled scaffolds and those with non-interconnected channels fabricated by coaxial 3D printing. This work establishes the following advances: integration of macropores with fully interconnected channel networks in bioceramic scaffolds using extrusion-based additive manufacturing, and demonstration of enhanced vascularized osteogenesis through optimized structural design. The findings provide insights into the rational design of advanced bioceramic scaffolds for functional bone regeneration.
