Abstract

, exhibiting a diffusion-based mechanism controlled by the scaffold's architecture. Enzymatic degradation assessment under a collagenase enzyme established that the Col-HAp/h-BN (1 : 2 : 1) scaffold underwent a gradual and sustained degradation pattern, as compared to other scaffolds, signifying that the incorporation of h-BN improved structural resistance and sustained biodegradability. In addition, biocompatibility studies revealed excellent cell viability, confirming the non-toxic and cytocompatibility nature of the scaffolds, validating the scaffold's safety for biological applications.
