Enhancing bone regeneration with a novel bioactive glass-functionalized polyetheretherketone scaffold by regulating the immune microenvironment

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has become a promising material for bone engineering due to its excellent mechanical properties, radiolucency and chemical resistance. However, its inherent bioinertness and lack of osteogenic activity induce a foreign body reaction and fibrous encapsulation, which limits...
