## Abstract To meet the challenge of regenerating bone lost to disease or trauma, biodegradable scaffolds are being investigated as a way to regenerate bone without the need for an auto‐ or allograft. Here, we have developed a novel microsphere‐based chitosan/nanocrystalline calcium phosphate (CaP)

Macroporous chitosan scaffolds reinforced by beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) and calcium phosphate invert glasses were fabricated using a thermally induced phase separation technique. These porous composite materials were specially designed as both a drug carrier for controlled drug release and
## Abstract Chitosan scaffolds have gained much attention in tissue engineering. However, brittleness and low biodegradability limit scaffolds application, especially in use as guided tissue regeneration membranes (GTRm) in surgical operations. The first objective of this work is to improve the bri
## Abstract Phosphate glass (PG) of the composition 0.46(CaO)–0.04(Na~2~O)–0.5(P~2~O~5~) was used as filler in poly‐L‐lactic acid (PLA) foams developed as degradable scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. The effect of PG on PLA was assessed both in bulk and porous composite foams. Composites with
## Abstract Thiolated chitosan (TCS) was proposed as a promising candidate as scaffold material for tissue engineering. However, a continuous exploration of such material as a three‐dimensional (3D) scaffold with controllable design of microstructure as well as mechanical strength was necessitated.
