Zinc borate is a bioactive inorganic compound with characteristics such as osteoinduction, promotion of angiogenesis, antioxidant properties, anti-mutagenicity, and cytotoxicity. In bone tissue engineering, it is often incorporated into chitosan scaffolds. By releasing zinc and boron ions, zinc borate induces human dental pulp stem cells to differentiate into osteoblasts, upregulates bone-related gene expression, and facilitates calcium deposition. It also enhances angiogenesis through the upregulation of key factors like vascular endothelial growth factor. Zinc borate exhibits antioxidant capacity by scavenging free radicals and specifically reduces mutagenicity under certain conditions. Although it decreases the survival rate of mouse fibroblasts, it remains useful for research in bone tissue engineering.
