... Glutaraldehyde (GA) cross-linked collagen improved collagen's thermal stability and anti-enzyme activity. Nonetheless, GA posed potential risks of cytotoxicity and calcification [17,18]. The process of cross-linking involving 1-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride/N-hydroxysuccinimide (EDC/NHS) bolstered the mechanical resilience of collagen. ...

... The incorporation of MoS 2 into composite materials enhances the mechanical strength of the scaffolds, thus offering crucial structural reinforcement for tissue regeneration. 18 The studies have proven the composites of polycaprolactone-MoS 2 , 19 polycaprolactone-MoS 2 nanofiber, 20 polyacrylonitrile-MoS 2 , 21 MoS 2 nanosheet-polycaprolactone/zein, 18 MoS 2 -hydroxyapatite, 22 alginate-casein-MoS 2 , 23 polycaprolactone-polylactide-co-glycolide-bioactive glass-MoS 2 nanoparticles, 24 MoS 2 -metformin, 25 poly(lactic-coglycolic) acid-simvastatin-mesoporous bioactive glass-MoS 2 , 26 and MoS 2 -bioactive borosilicate glass 27 have shown better biocompatibility, biodegradability, enhanced alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and increased bone mineralization when compared with the control. Hence, the addition of MoS 2 in the composite system significantly increases the overall biocompatibility of the scaffold. ...
