Incorporation of biphasic calcium phosphate microparticles in injectable thermoresponsive hydrogel modulates bone cell proliferation and differentiation

- Bone cells in hydrogel composite showed enhanced cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation.
- Subcutaneously implanted bone cells in hydrogel composite showed ectopic bone formation in nude mice.
- The hydrogel composite can serve as an injectable material for osteoblast delivery in orthopedic applications.
