An adverse effect of this fast degradation rate of CS scaffolds was the remarkable increase in the pH values of the media. The extracts would inhibit cell growth if they were not diluted to below certain concentrations (e.g. 0.02 g/mL in this study). This is a common phenomenon in relation to bioceramic materials when they have relative faster degradation rates [59,60]. In reports, in vitro cell culture was also normally carried out in diluted extracts if the main bioactive components come from the degradation of ceramic scffolds [61–63]. For example, Bun-petch et al. cultured BMSCs with the extracts made from Si-containing CaPs at different concentrations (1.56–25 mM), the optimal concentration found able to promote cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation was 6.25 mM [61]. In another report, diluted extracts made from β-CS were used to incubate osteoblast-like cells following the guidance of ISO/EN 10993-5 standard [62]. The results showed that the extract had an inhibitory effect on cell proliferation as its concentration being higher than 50 mg/mL. Both in the present study (Fig. 8) and in literature [4,38,64], however, these bioceramic scaffolds could support cell attachment, and the seeded cells demonstrated strong cell viability. Also, these kinds of scaffolds could act well in animal evaluations without causing apparent inflammation reactions both in the implantation sites and to other organs like liver and kidney (Fig. 11 and Fig. S10). There was no exact explanation to illuminate the inconsis- tency of the cell culture in the concentrated extracts and the cells cultured in the contact mode. It might be ascribed to the different dy- namic that cells interacted with the systems. The cells were continuously exposed to the pre-prepared concentrated extracts during the cell cul- ture, while the cells seeded on the scaffolds were exposed to dynamic ion concentrations alongside gradual ion release and medium refreshment. When these scaffolds were in vivo implanted, their interactions with surrounding tissues/cells were also in a dynamical mode. As the results, the rat calvarial defects were regenerated significantly in comparison with the blank control when either of the CS scaffolds (CS-g, 10Mg-CS-g, 10Mn-CS-g) was implanted.
