Biocompatible alginate/nano bioactive glass ceramic composite scaffolds for periodontal tissue regeneration

► In this work, we developed biocompatible alginate/nano bioglass composite scaffolds for periodontal tissue regeneration. ► This nanocomposite scaffold is biocompatible with human periodontal ligament fibroblast (hPDLF) and osteosarcoma (MG-63) cells. ► The hPDLF cells also behaved as osteoblasts showing enhanced alkaline phosphatase activity.
