Abstract
bone defect repair in a rat skull defect model. Moreover, two-photon laser scanning microscopy (TPLSM) was used for the first time to evaluate bone defect repair by exploring the collagen and mineralized structure directly in bone defect specimens. In short, these multifunctional hydrogels have shown promising applications in bone tissue formation and further accelerate bone defect repair, indicating their great potential for clinical application.
