Abstract
and surgical intervention for rat femoral defect repairing have verified the successful osteogenesis with high mechanical strength and remarkable stability in the physiological environment. The silkworm spinning inspired 3D printing offers a facile approach for the fabrication of implantable scaffolds with high strength and excellent biocompatibility, which is highly desired for the applications of bone tissue engineering.
