Popis: The utilization of static magnetic fields in conjunction with tissue engineering scaffolds has demonstrated significant potential in the restoration of bone defects. However, previous techniques used for fabricating magnetic tissue engineering scaffolds have shown certain shortcomings that require further investigation. In this study, a series of scaffolds made from a combination of polylactic acid (PLA), polycaprolactone (PCL), and iron tetraoxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were designed and prepared using the microinjection molding technique. The composite scaffolds, which were doped with nanoparticles and fabricated through microinjection, exhibited exceptional physicochemical properties and biocompatibility. Additionally, the PLA/PCL/Fe3O4 scaffolds were found to promote the proliferation and adhesion of bone marrow cells (BMSCs) under relatively low magnetic fields (25–30 mT). These findings suggest that PLA/PCL/Fe3O4 scaffolds hold great potential for use in bone tissue engineering applications.
