Abstract
A photoactivated bone scaffold integrated with minimally invasive implantation and mild thermal-stimulation capability shows great promise in the repair and regeneration of irregularly damaged bone tissues. Developing multifunctional photothermal biomaterials that can simultaneously serve as both controllable thermal stimulators and biodegradable engineering scaffolds for integrated immunomodulation, infection therapy, and impaired bone repair remains an enormous challenge. Herein, an injectable and photocurable hydrogel therapeutic platform (AMAD/MP) based on alginate methacrylate, alginate-graft-dopamine, and polydopamine (PDA)-functionalized Ti3C2 MXene (MXene@PDA) nanosheets is rationally designed for…
