Incorporation of Zinc–Strontium Phosphate into Gallic Acid–Gelatin Composite Hydrogel with Multiple Biological Functions for Bone Tissue Regeneration

Large bone defects resulting from fractures and diseases have become a significant medical concern, usually impeding spontaneous healing through the body's self-repair mechanism. Calcium phosphate (CaP) bioceramics are widely utilized for bone regeneration, owing to their exceptional biocompatibility and osteoconductivity. However, their bioactivities in repairing healing-impaired bone defects characterized by conditions such as ischemia and infection remain limited. Recently, an emerging bioceramics zinc-strontium phosphate (ZSP, Zn
