However, these aerogels are usually fragile, with fast biodegradation rates in biological aqueous fluids, and they lack the sterility required for clinical practice. In this work, reinforced alginate-hydroxyapatite (HA) aerogel scaffolds for BTE applications were obtained by a dual strategy that combines extrusion-based 3D-printing and supercritical CO2 gel drying with an extra crosslinking step. Gel ageing in CaCl2 solutions and glutaraldehyde (GA) chemical crosslinking of aerogels were performed as intermediate and post-processing reinforcement strategies to achieve highly crosslinked aerogel scaffolds. Nitrogen adsorption\u2013desorption (BET) and SEM analyses were performed to assess the textural parameters of the resulting alginate-HA aerogel scaffolds. The biological evaluation of the aerogel scaffolds was performed regarding cell viability, hemolytic activity and bioactivity for BTE. The impact of scCO2-based post-sterilization treatment on scaffold properties was also assessed. The obtained aerogels were dual porous, bio- and hemocompatible, as well as endowed with high bioactivity that is dependent on the HA content. This work is a step forward towards the optimization of the physicochemical performance of advanced biomaterials and their sterilization.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym14061211","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,20]],"date-time":"2022-03-20T21:34:27Z","timestamp":1647812067000},"page":"1211","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":45,"title":["3D-Printed, Dual Crosslinked and Sterile Aerogel Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Ana","family":"Iglesias-Mejuto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"I+D Farma Group (GI-1645), Department of Pharmacology, Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Technology, Faculty of Pharmacy, iMATUS and Health Research Institute of Santiago de Compostela (IDIS), Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, E-15782 Santiago de Compostela, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9542-3679","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos A.","family":"Garc\u00eda-Gonz\u00e1lez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"I+D Farma Group (GI-1645), Department of Pharmacology, Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Technology, Faculty of Pharmacy, iMATUS and Health Research Institute of Santiago de Compostela (IDIS), Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, E-15782 Santiago de Compostela, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"15","article-title":"Bone Injury and Fracture Healing Biology","volume":"28","author":"Oryan","year":"2015","journal-title":"Biomed Environ.
