Structural properties of the scaffolds.

Notes: (A) TEM image of the prepared MBG powder. MBG have highly ordered mesopore-channel structure. (B) SEM images of MBG (a, b and c) and MBG/SIS (d, e and f); (C) Compressive strength of MBG and MBG/SIS. (D) FTIR spectra of the MBG, SIS, and MBG/SIS. The characteristic peaks of amide groups, alkyl (C–H) groups, and O–Si–O groups are shown on the SIS/MBG spectrum, respectively. It indicates that SIS was successfully incorporated into MBG scaffold. Statistical significance is indicated by *p < 0.05 compared to pure MBG group.

Abbreviations: MBG, mesoporous bioactive glass; SIS, small intestinal submucosa; SEM, scanning electron microscopy; TEM, transmission electron microscopy; FTIR, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.
