Summary of the nano cellulose-based materials tested in bone regeneration.

Type of Cellulose Material Realesed In Vitro Tests In Vivo Tests Molecular Effects References
SF/CMC hMSCs Uniform deposition and nucleation of Ca/P over the surface of the scaffold. The SF/CMC improved osteoblastic differentiation of hMSCs Singh et al. [81]
Zr-CS-CMC Cefazolin Murine OB-6 cell line Promotion of osteogenic cell proliferation Gaire et al. [82]
Cotton cellulose Nano-Ha HDFCs Improved HDFCs adherence and proliferation on the scaffold Ao et al. [84]
CA-P-STMP Saos-2 Formation of new bone and capillaries Atila et al. [86]
HPMC-CaP Calcium PDECs Rat bone defect model In vitro: promotion of the VEGF expression (vasculogenesis);
in vivo: increased bone regeneration (osteogenesis) and vessels density
