Precise copper ion release and recovery in polycaprolactone nanofiber scaffold: an antibacterial and osteogenic synergistic strategy for guided bone regeneration
By integrating PDA-mediated Cu<sup>2+</sup> coordination with PCL nanofibers, we created a multifunctional platform that balances antimicrobial defense and bone regeneration. This controlled ion delivery strategy shows great promise for bone tissue engineering, especially in infection-prone environments.
