Preparation of antibacterial and osteoconductive 3D-printed PLGA/Cu(I)@ZIF-8 nanocomposite scaffolds for infected bone repair

Abstract Background The repair of large bone defects is a great challenge in clinical practice. In this study, copper-loaded-ZIF-8 nanoparticles and poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) were combined to fabricate porous PLGA/Cu(I)@ZIF-8 scaffolds using three-dimensional printing technology for infecte...
