Abstract
MXenes and PDA. Moreover, MXenes and PDA also endowed the scaffolds with excellent ROS-scavenging capacity and satisfying osteogenesis ability. Our experimental results also confirmed that the PMMA/PEI/PDA/MXene scaffolds significantly promoted new bone formation in an infected mandibular defect model. We believe that our study provides new insights into the treatment of infected bone defects.
