Graphical abstract illustrating ion-doped Mg–Ca silicate bioceramics for bone regeneration. Fluoride (F⁻) and alkali-metal ions (Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺) are incorporated into porous Mg–Ca silicates, including diopside, bredigite, and bioactive glass, to enhance apatite formation and biocompatibility while regulating biodegradation and pH changes. - Erfan Salahinejad

Scientific illustration of biphasic hydroxyapatite/tricalcium phosphate (HA/TCP) bone regeneration platforms, showing two complementary approaches: 3D porous HA/TCP scaffolds for bone tissue engineering and porous BCP microspheres for bone defect filling and local delivery. A central bone illustration connects the two approaches. Key design factors include HA/TCP phase ratio, porosity and pore geometry, particle size and surface roughness, coatings, additives, and ionic doping. The illustrated functional properties include injectability, bioresorbability, osteogenesis, and angiogenesis. - Erfan Salahinejad

Infographic illustrating the evolution of foam replica-processed bone tissue engineering scaffolds. On the left, a simplified workflow shows polyurethane foam templating, sol–gel slurry infiltration, burnout and sintering, resulting in a highly porous Mg–Ca silicate scaffold. At the center, a large three-dimensional porous ceramic scaffold is highlighted with the descriptors "Stronger," "Smarter," and "Bioactive," emphasizing its application in bone regeneration. On the right, four key enhancement strategies are summarized: PLGA coating for improved mechanical strength, sustained vancomycin delivery and drug release control, strontium/fluoride incorporation for enhanced bioactivity and biodegradation, and improved cytocompatibility with increased cell viability and biomineralization- Erfan Salahinejad

Infographic illustrating three freeze-dried scaffold strategies for bone tissue engineering. The left panel shows a highly porous scaffold composed of silk fibroin, decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM), and strontium-doped mesoporous bioactive glass, highlighting enhanced porosity, mechanical strength, stem cell proliferation, and osteogenesis. The center panel presents a gelatin scaffold reinforced with copper-doped calcium–magnesium silicates, emphasizing improved vascularization through endothelial cell adhesion, capillary network formation, and angiogenesis. The right panel depicts a chitosan/alginate scaffold containing mesoporous silica nanoparticles, demonstrating increased mechanical strength, controlled degradation, and enhanced biomineralization. All three approaches converge toward improved cell viability, osteogenic differentiation, vascularization, and bone regeneration, illustrating complementary biomaterial strategies for advanced bone tissue engineering. - Erfan Salahinejad
