Abstract In this study, porous bioglass/gelatin/alginate bone tissue engineering scaffolds were fabricated by three-dimensional printing. The compressive strength and in vitro biomineralization properties of the bioglass–gelatin–alginate scaffolds (BG/ Gel/SA scaffolds) were significantly improved with the increase of bioglass content until 30% weight percentage followed by a rapid decline in strength. In addition, the cells attach and spread on the BG/Gel/SA scaffolds surfaces represents good adhesion and biocompatibility. Furthermore, the cells (rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, mBMSCs) proliferation and osteogenic differentiation on the BG/Gel/SA scaffolds were also promoted with the increase of bioglass content. Overall, the adding of bioglass in Gel/SA scaffolds promotes mechanical strength and in vitro osteogenic properties and the 30 BG scaffold (30%wt BG) has potential applications in bone tissue engineering and bone regenerative repair because of good compressive strength, biocompatibility, and in vitro osteogenesis.

1 Introduction In recent years, the development of new materials or devices for the bone repairing applications has attracted continuous attentions because of the aging population and the increasing orthopedic surgical demanding [1]. Bone defects, especially those above the critical size which cannot be selfhealed caused by wounds, tumors, or infections, require an osteoconductive and osteoinductive implant to promote tissue regeneration [2]. Although autografts are considered as the “gold standard” in bone repairing, the limited availability and morbidity of the dono
