[ 192 , 193 ] as well as their combination with bioresorbable polymers may also
improve the local environment in order to enhance cell attachment, proliferation
and angiogenic and osteogenic properties as well as adding extra functionalities to
the base scaffold. However, possible toxicity issues associated with nanoparticles
and CNTs remain to be properly investigated [ 194 ].
