Research topics from publications: Biomineralization-inspired mineralized hydrogel promotes the repair and regeneration of dentin/bone hard tissue. Representative work: Abstract Maxillofacial hard tissue defects caused by trauma or infection often affect craniofacial function. Taking the natural hard tissue structure as a template, constructing an engineered tissue repair module is an important scheme to realize the functional regeneration and repair of maxillofacial hard tissue. Here, inspired by the biomineralization process, we constructed a composite mineral matrix hydrogel PAA-CMC-TDM containing amorphous calcium phosphates (ACPs), polyacrylic acid (PAA), carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) and dentin matrix (TDM). The dynamic network composed of Ca 2+ ·COO − coordination and ACPs made the hydrogel loaded with TDM, and exhibited self-repairing ability and inj
