The SF/CMC composite scaffold was able to fix Ca²⁺ via chelation and to favor the homogeneous deposition and nucleation of the calcium/phosphate (Ca/PO₄) crystals on the grafting matrix. Moreover, when loaded by hMSCs, the scaffold allowed hMCs differentiation towards osteoblastic cells. Redrawn from ref [81].
