Calcium phosphates (CaPs) stand out as an excellent scaffold material for bone regeneration due to their resemblance to natural bone and active promotion of osteogenesis. The bionic design of these scaffolds and tuning the physical and chemical cues to maximize bone healing is still a clinical hurdle due to the large number of variables impacting bone regeneration. This PhD thesis offers valuable insight into the contribution of physico-chemical attributes and internal design to the biological functionality of CaP-based bone biomaterials. This newfound knowledge can play a pivotal role in enhancing optimization algorithms and more advanced manufacturing methods for bone tissue engineering applications.
